Safar Mein Rah Ke Aashob Se Na Dar Jaana

safar mein rah ke aashob se na Dar jaana

paDe jo aag ka dariya to par kar jaana

ye ek ishaara hai aafat-e-na-gahani ka

kisi maqam se chiDiyon ka kuch kar jaana

ye intiqam hai dasht-e-bala se baadal ka

samundaron pe baraste hue guzar jaana

tumhaara qurb bhi duri ka istiara hai

ki jaise chand ka talab mein utar jaana

tulu-e-mahr-e-daraKHshan ki ek alamat hai

uThae sham-e-yaqin us ka dar par jaana

the razm-gah-e-mohabbat ke bhi ajab andaz

usi ne war kiya jis ne be-sipar jaana

har ek nafas pe guzarta hai ye guman jaise

charagh le ke hawaon se jang par jaana

hum apne ishq ki ab aur kya shahadat den

hamein hamare raqibon ne mo'tabar jaana

mere yaqin ko baDa bad-guman kar ke gaya

dua-e-nim-shabi tera be-asar jaana

har ek shaKH ko pahna gaya numu ka libas

safir-e-mausam-e-gul ka shajar shajar jaana

zamana bit gaya tark-e-ishq ko 'tishna'

magar gaya na hamara idhar udhar jaana
