Pan Kha Kar Surma Ki Tahrir Phir Khinchi To Kya

Bahadur Shah Zafar

paan kha kar surma ki tahrir phir khinchi to kya

jab mira khuun ho chuka shamshir phir khinchi to kya

ai muhavvis jab ki zar tere nasibon men nahin

tu ne mehnat bhi pai-e-iksir phir khinchi to kya

gar khinche siine se navak ruuh tu qalib se khinch

ai ajal jab khinch gaya vo tiir phir khinchi to kya

khinchta tha paanv mera pahle hi zanjir se

ai junun tu ne miri zanjir phir khinchi to kya

daar hi par us ne khincha jab sar-e-bazar-e-ishq

laash bhi meri pai-e-tashhir phir khinchi to kya

khinch ab naala koi aisa ki ho us ko asar

tu ne ai dil ah-e-pur-tasir phir khinchi to kya

chahiye us ka tasavvur hi se naqsha khinchna

dekh kar tasvir ko tasvir phir khinchi to kya

khinch le avval hi se dil ki inan-e-ikhtiyar

tu ne gar ai ashiq-e-dil-gir phir khinchi to kya

kya hua aage uthae gar ‘zafar’ ehsan-e-aql

aur agar ab minnat-e-tadbir phir khinchi to kya
