Firaq Gorakhpuri
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 hui hain ragen kaenat ki
rakh li jinhon ne kashmakash-e-zindagi ki laaj
be-dardiyan na puchhiye un se hayat ki
yuun fart-e-be-khudi se mohabbat men jaan de
tujh ko bhi kuchh khabar na ho is vardat ki
hai ishq us tabassum-e-jan-bakhsh ka shahid
ranginiyan liye hai jo subh-e-hayat ki
chheda hai dard-e-ishq ne tar-e-rag-e-adam
surat pakad chali hain navaen hayat ki
sham-e-abad ko jalva-e-subh-e-bahar de
rudad chhed zindagi-e-be-sabat ki
us bazm-e-be-khudi men vajud-e-adam kahan
chalti nahin hai saans hayat-o-mamat ki
sau dard ik tabassum-e-pinhan men band hain
tasvir huun ‘firaq’ nashat-e-hayat ki
