Tiflan Ki To Kuchh Taqsir Na Thi

ai dost purane pahchane

hum kitni muddat baad mile

aur kitni sadiyon baad mili

ye ek nigah-e-mehr-o-saKHa

jo apni saKHa se KHud pur-nam

baiTho to zara

batlao to kya

ye sach hai mere taaqub mein

phirta hai hujum-e-sang-zanan?

kya nil bahut hain chehre par?

kya kasa-e-sar hai KHun se tar?

paiwand-e-qaba dushnam bahut

paiwast-e-jigar ilzam bahut

ye nazr-e-karam kyun hai pur-nam?

jab nikle ku-e-malamat mein

ek ghaugha to hum ne bhi suna

tiflan ki to kuchh taqsir na thi

hum aap hi the yun KHud-rafta

madhoshi ne mohlat hi na di

hum muD ke nazara kar lete

bachne ki to surat KHair na thi

darman ka hi chaara kar lete

pal bhar bhi hamare kar-e-junun

ghaflat jo gawara kar lete
