Firaq Gorakhpuri
ik roz hue the kuchh isharat khafi se
ashiq hain ham us nargis-e-rana ke jabhi se
karne ko hain duur aaj to tau ye rog hi ji se
ab rakkhenge ham pyaar na tum se na kisi se
ahbab se rakhta huun kuchh ummid-e-sharafat
rahte hain khafa mujh se bahut log isi se
kahta huun use main to khususiyyat-e-pinhan
kuchh tum ko shikayat hai kasi se to mujhi se
ashar nahin hain ye miri ruuh ki hai pyaas
jaari hue sar-chashme miri tishna-labi se
aansu ko mire khel tamasha na samajhna
kat jaata hai patthar isi hiire ki kani se
yad-e-lab-e-janan hai charagh-e-dil-e-ranjur
raushan hai ye ghar aaj usi laal-e-yamani se
aflak ki mehrab hai aai hui angdai
be-kaif kuchh afaq ki aaza-shikani se
kuchh zer-e-lab alfaz khanakte hain faza men
gunji hui hai bazm tiri kam-sukhani se
aaj anjuman-e-ishq nahin anjuman-e-ishq
kis darja kami bazm men hai teri kami se
is vadi-e-viran men hai sar-chashma-e-dil bhi
hasti miri sairab hai ankhon ki nami se
khud mujh ko bhi ta-der khabar ho nahin paai
aaj aai tiri yaad is ahista-ravi se
vo dhundhne nikli hai tiri nikhat-e-gesu
ik rose mila tha main nasim-e-sahari se
sab kuchh vo dila de mujhe sab kuchh vo bana de
ai dost nahin duur tiri kam-nigahi se
miad-e-davam-o-abad ik niind hai us ki
ham muntahi-e-jalva-e-janan hain abhi se
ik dil ke siva paas hamare nahin kuchh bhi
jo kaam ho le lete hain ham log isi se
maalum hua aur hai ik alam-e-asrar
aina-e-hasti ki pareshan-nazari se
is se to kahin baith rahe tod ke ab paaon
mil jaae najat ishq ko is dar-ba-dari se
rahta huun ‘firaq’ is liye varafta ki duniya
kuchh hosh men aa jaae miri be-khabari se
