Mah-Jabinon Ki Mohabbat Ka Natija Na Mila

Shauq Bahraichi

mah-jabinon ki mohabbat ka natija na mila

murghiyan palin magar ek bhi anDa na mila

husn-e-ḳhud-bin na mila husn-e-ḳhud-ara na mila

jab main sasural gaya ek bhi saala na mila

kis tarah jaata koi manzil-e-maqsad ki taraf

koi yakka koi tanga koi rickshaw na mila

nazar aaya na kahin naseh-e-nadan mera

justuju jis ki thi vo miTTi ka babuva na mila

ab ki nakam raha qa.id-e-mulk-o-millat

ab ki barbadi-e-aqvam ka Theka na mila

shaiḳh-sahib ke talavvun ka fusun hai ye bhi

masjidon men kabhi ik miTTi ka badhna na mila

ai gham-e-dost ziyafat main tiri kya karta

ek ḳhurak se ration hi ziyada na mila

laakh bazar-e-mohabbat ke laga.e phere

be-vaqufi ke siva aur koi sauda na mila

kis tarah se koi ta.amir-e-nasheman karta

kabhi sutli na mili aur kabhi seTha na mila

dost ki shirin-bayani ka maza kya kahiye

aisi barfi kabhi aisa kabhi peḌa na mila

rakkhe hi rakkhe hui jins-e-karam sab barbad

ek bhuke ko magar paao bhar aaTa na mila

haath aa.ega na parvana-e-jannat ai qaum

shaiḳh-sahib ko agar halva paraTha na mila

kis tarah se kisi ta.amir ki hoti takmil

vaqt par jab kabhi iinTa kabhi gaara na mila

aaj shamshir-e-barhana vo liye phirte hain

jin ke ghar men kabhi ik baans ka phaTTa na mila
