Poet Name: Firaq Gorakhpuri

dilon ka soz tire ru-e-be-naqab ki aanch tamam garmi-e-mahfil tire shabab ki aanch savab-e-khuld-e-barin kya azab-e-dozakh kya tire khitab ki

didar men ik-tarfa didar nazar aaya har baar chhupa koi har baar nazar aaya chhalon ko bayaban bhi gulzar nazar

dete hain jam-e-shahadat mujhe maalum na tha hai ye ain-e-mohabbat mujhe maalum na tha matlab-e-chashm-e-muravvat mujhe maalum na tha tujh

daur-e-aghaz-e-jafa dil ka sahara nikla hausla kuchh na hamara na tumhara nikla tera naam aate hi sakte ka tha aalam

chhalak ke kam na ho aisi koi sharab nahin nigah-e-nargis-e-raana tira javab nahin zamin jaag rahi hai ki inqalab hai

be-thikane hai dil-e-gham-ghin thikane ki kaho sham-e-hijran dosto kuchh is ke aane ki kaho haan na puchh ik giraftar-e-qafas ki

bastiyan dhundh rahi hain unhen viranon men vahshaten badh gaiin had se tire divanon men nigah-e-naz na divanon na farzanon

bahut pahle se un qadmon ki aahat jaan lete hain tujhe ai zindagi ham duur se pahchan lete hain miri

bahsen chhidi hui hain hayat-o-mamat ki sau baat ban gai hai ‘firaq’ ek baat ki saz-nava-e-dard hijabat-e-dahr men kitni dukhi

ab daur-e-asman hai na daur-e-hayat hai ai dard-e-hijr tu hi bata kitni raat hai har kaenat se ye alag kaenat
