Shad Azimabadi
musibat jis se zaail ho rahi saman kar dega
na ghabrana khuda sab mushkilen asan kar dega
kharabat-e-jahan men kaun hai dil-soz saaqi sa
agar tarchhat bhi dena hai to tujh ko chhan kar dega
qanaat ki bhi daulat ho to istighna nahin lazim
jise tu nafa samjha hai yahi nuqsan kar dega
jagah dil men na de shauq-e-numu-dari buri shai hai
yahi chaska tujhe barbad ai nadan kar dega
kahunga aaj se main sahib-e-ejaz naseh ko
agar mere dil-e-muztar ka itminan kar dega
tamannaon ki mehmani tasavvur ke havale kar
ki jo saman munasib hai vahi saman kar dega
mata-e-be-baha se kam na jaan ai chashm ashkon ko
yahi rona tira khali tiri dukan kar dega
koi gar saltanat bhi de to vapas kar na le ai dil
subuk har tarf tujh ko ghair ka ehsan kar dega
kahe deta huun qatil le khabar jan-baz ki apne
fana shauq-e-shahadat men kisi din jaan kar dega
tiri ru-poshiyan ai husn kab be-kar jaengi
yahi parda ayaan aalam men teri shaan kar dega
yaqin kar le ki khud vo jalva-gar parde men hai varna
yahi zalim guman tera tujhe hairan kar dega
ghazal se kya murad ai ‘shad’ hai arbab-e-maani ki
kisi din tasfiya us ka mira divan kar dega
