Meer Mehdi Majrooh
ye jo chupke se aae baithe hain
laakh fitne uthae baithe hain
vo nahin hain to dard ko un ke
siine se ham lagae baithe hain
ye bhi kuchh ji men aa gai hogi
kya vo mere bithae baithe hain
tazkira vasl ka nahin khali
vo bhi kuchh lutf paae baithe hain
mujh ko maara hai par khajalat se
vo bhi gardan jhukae baithe hain
rang jamta hai yaan na aane ka
yaani mehndi lagae baithe hain
mujh ko mahfil men dekh kar bole
aap yaan kyuun ki aae baithe hain
khair ho hain bigad ke asar
kuchh vo munh ko banae baithe hain
gham hamen kha raha hai to kya gham
ham bhi to gham ko khaae baithe hain
zad men gar hai adu to ho vo to
ghaat mujh par lagae baithe hain
khoe jaane ka apne dhyan nahin
kuchh to aisa hi paae baithe hain
sharm se hain vo laakh parde men
go mire paas aae baithe hain
shama saan go ghule hi jaate hain
us se par lau lagae baithe hain
us gali men basan-e-naqsh-e-qadam
ham bhi paanv jamae baithe hain
ho na ai shama husn par nazan
vo bhi mahfil men aae baithe hain
shokhiyan khud hain parda-dar un ki
kyuun vo munh ko chhupae baithe hain
fard-e-batil samajh ke duniya ko
naqsh-e-hasti mitae baithe hain
kya hai us khush-khiram ki aamad
fitne jo jaae jaae baithe hain
tuur jis aag ne jalaya tha
ham vo dil men chhupae baithe hain
chashmaken ghair se dikha denge
ham bhi ankhen ladae baithe hain
kal taqaddus-maab masjid the
aaj rindon men aae baithe hain
la-ubali khiram hai ‘majruh’
vaza kaisi banae baithe hain
