Hatim Ali Mehr
qata ho kar kakul-e-shab-gir aadhi rah gai
ab to ai saudaiyo zanjir aadhi rah gai
saari botal ab kahan aadhi men karte hain guzar
munsifi se mohtasib taazir aadhi rah gai
shaam ka vaada kiya aae vo aadhi raat ko
jazba-e-dil ki mire tasir aadhi rah gai
dhal gaya ahd-e-javani ho gaya akhir shabab
zindagi apni bhi charkh-e-pir aadhi rah gai
ik kashish-e-ishq kaman-e-abru ki hai teri tadap
buad men jo raah thi do tiir aadhi rah gai
jubba-sai karte karte ghis gai lauh-e-jabin
meri qismat ki jo thi tahrir aadhi rah gai
saari izzat naukri se is zamane men hai ‘mehr’
jab hue be-kar bas tauqir aadhi rah gai
