Shad Azimabadi
dil apni talab men sadiq tha ghabra ke su-e-matlub gaya
dariya se ye moti nikla tha dariya hi men ja kar duub gaya
ahval-e-javani piiri men kya arz karun ik qissa hai
vo tarz gai vo vaza gai andaz gaya uslub gaya
la-raib khamoshi ne teri tasir dikha di maston ko
be-bak jo mai-kash tha saaqi us bazm se vo mahjub gaya
be-rahila-va-be-zad-e-safar rahmat pe bharosa farma kar
jo mulk-e-adam men basne ko is tarah gaya vo khuub gaya
bad-hal bahut tha us par bhi ai yaar kisi ne li na khabar
bad maar ke tere kuche se akhir ko tira majzub gaya
rizvan ne kiya dar khuld ka va huren huiin sadqe aa aa kar
ghilman ne qadam chume us ke jo teri taraf mansub gaya
taqat jo nahin ab hairat se tasvir ka aalam rahta hai
vo akhir-e-shab ki aah gai vo laghra-e-mahbub gaya
yaan apni saza bhugti us ne rahmat ki nazar hogi us par
har-chand khata-kar-e-ulfat kuche se tire maatub gaya
hairat hai abas ai jo in besh-baha mansubon par
is tarah ke moti tab nikle jab zer-e-zamin main duub gaya
kya us ka sabab main arz karun kuchh vaqiye aise pesh aae
main rota hua aaya tha yahan chup yaan se gaya marub gaya
kuche men tire ab ‘shad’ nahin le paak khuda ne ki ye zamin
sad shukr sara-e-fani se akhir vo sag-e-maayub gaya
