Meri Jaan Ranj Ghataiye Qadam Aage Ab Na Badhaiye

Poet

miri jaan ranj ghataiye qadam aage ab na badhaiye

idhar aaiye idhar aaiye idhar aaiye idhar aaiye

khade kab se ham sar-e-rah hain kahin mar chuken ki tabah hain

hadaf-e-khadang-e-nigah hain zara aankh idhar bhi milaiye

bhala aana aap ka kaam hai ye ghalat tamam kalam hai

aji bas hamara salam hai kahin aur baten banaiye

tah-e-tegh tez hai ik jahan koi kushta hai koi nim-jan

jo na ho daregh tu mehrban koi haath idhar bhi lagaiye

kabhi mai se munh ko na modiye havas-e-sharab na chhodiye

sar-e-mohtasib hai na todiye jo kamal-e-ghaiz par aaiye

ye kamal-e-lutf hai saqiya yahi hai havas yahi muddaa

rahe hosh-e-sar na khayal-e-pa agar aisi mai hai to laiye

jo vufur-e-chashm-e-pur-ab ho to jahan takhta-e-ab ho

abhi nuuh ka sa azaab ho agar ashk chand bahaiye

vo kaha adu se hai main ne kya ki hue hain aap jo yuun khafa

ye ghazab ye jhuut ye iftira mire samne to bulaiye

ghazal aisi kamil-e-vazn sun mutafailun mutafailun

hai ‘nasim’ taqat-e-hosh sun koi sher aur sunaiye
