Poet Name: Akhtar Shirani

bahar aai hai mastana ghata kuchh aur kahti hai magar un shokh nazron ki haya kuchh aur kahti hai rihai

ashk-bari na miti sina-figari na gai lala-kari kisi surat bhi hamari na gai kucha-e-husn chhuta to hue rusva-e-sharab apni qismat

ai dil vo ashiqi ke fasane kidhar gae vo umr kya hui vo zamane kidhar gae viran hain sahn o

agar vo apne hasin chehre ko bhuul kar be-naqab kar de to zarre ko mahtab aur mahtab ko aftab kar

ashna ho kar taghaful ashna kyuun ho gae ba-vafa the tum to akhir bevafa kyuun ho gae aur bhi rahte

aarzu vasl ki rakhti hai pareshan kya kya kya bataun ki mire dil men hain arman kya kya gham azizon

aao be-parda tumhen jalva-e-pinhan ki qasam ham na chhedenge hamen zulf-e-pareshan ki qasam chak-e-daman ki qasam chak-e-gareban ki qasam hansne
