Poet
vahi va.ada hai vahi aarzu vahi apni umr-e-tamam hai
vahi chashm hai vahi raah hai vahi sub.h hai vahi shaam hai
vahi ḳhasta-hal ḳharab hai vahi ḳhvab kushta-e-ḳhvab hai
vahi zindagi ko javab hai na salam hai na payam hai
vahi josh nala-o-ah men vahi sho.ala jan-e-tabah men
vahi barq-e-yas nigah men jo ḳhayal hai so vo ḳhaam hai
vahi ḳhvab-o-ḳhur ki talash hai vahi jan-o-dil men ḳharash hai
vahi ranj-e-ghair-e-ma.ash hai mujhe zindagi bhi haram hai
vahi hijr dushman-e-vasl hai vahi marg-o-zist men fasl hai
vahi apne shaghl se shaghl hai vahi apne kaam se kaam hai
vahi shaq jigar na siyo siyo vahi ziist hai na jiyo jiyo
vahi ḳhun-e-dil na piyo piyo vahi baada hai vahi jaam hai
vahi shauq-e-rah hai rahnuma vahi jalva-gah hai ruḳh-kusha
vahi bazm-e-naz hai ja-ba-ja vahi har qadam pe maqam hai
vahi nim-jan dam-e-vapsin vahi nala-kash suḳhan-e-hazin
vahi yas-e-zist hai dil-nashin ki zaban pe aap ka naam hai
vahi ranj hai to yuun hi sahi vo ‘qalaq’ hi tha ki yuun hi nibhi
miri aap ko bhi hai bandagi mira ishq ko bhi salam hai
