Poet Name: Sheikh Ibrahim Zauq

ai ‘zauq’ vaqt naale ke rakh le jigar pe haath varna jigar ko roega tu dhar ke sar pe haath

azizo is ko na ghadiyal ki sada samjho ye umr-e-rafta ki apni sada-e-pa samjho baja kahe jise aalam use baja

aankh us pur-jafa se ladti hai jaan kushti qaza se ladti hai shola bhadke na kyuun ki mahfil men shama

ankhen miri talvon se vo mal jaae to achchha hai hasrat-e-pa-bos nikal jaae to achchha jo chashm ki be-nam ho

balaen ankhon se un ki mudam lete hain ham apne hathon ka mizhgan se kaam lete hain ham un ki

bagh-e-alam men jahan nakhl-e-hina lagta hai dil-e-pur-khun ka vahan haath pata lagta hai kya tadapna dil-e-bismil ka bhala lagta hai

aate hi tu ne ghar ke phir jaane ki sunai rah jaun sun na kyunkar ye to buri sunai majnun

badam do jo bheje hain batve men Daal kar iman ye hai ki bhej de ankhen nikal kar dil siine

ab to ghabra ke ye kahte hain ki mar jaenge mar ke bhi chain na paaya to kidhar jaenge being

bazm men zikr mira lab pe vo laae to sahi vahin malum karun hont hilae to sahi sang par sang
