Afzal Allahabadi
yadon ke nasheman ko jalaya to nahin hai
ham ne tujhe is dil se bhulaya to nahin hai
kaunain ki vusat bhi simat jaati hai jis men
ai dil kahin tujh men vo samaya to nahin hai
har shai se vo zahir hai ye ehsan hai us ka
khud ko miri nazron se chhupaya to nahin hai
zulfon ki syahi men ajab husn-e-nihan hai
ye raat usi husn ka saaya to nahin hai
vaqif hain tire dard se ai naghma-e-ulfat
ham ne tujhe har saaz pe gaaya to nahin hai
us ne jo likha tha kabhi sahil ki jabin par
us naam ko maujon ne mitaya to nahin hai
vo shahar ki is bhiid men aata nahin ‘afzal’
phir bhi chalo dekhen kahin aaya to nahin hai
