KHudi ki daulat-e-uzma KHuda ne mujh ko baKHshi hai
qalandar hun main shahon ki gadai kar nahin sakta

Afzal Allahabadi

main chahta tha ki us ko gulab pesh karun
wo KHud gulab tha us ko gulab kya deta

Afzal Allahabadi

mein iztirab ke aalam mein raqs karta raha
kabhi ghubar ki surat kabhi dhuan ban ka

Afzal Allahabadi

teri nisbat mili mujhe jab se
main koi aarzu nahin karta

Afzal Allahabadi

---

tu jugnu hai faqat raaton ke daman mein basera kar
main suraj hun tu mujh se aashnai kar nahin sakta

Afzal Allahabadi

---

---

wo jis ki rah mein main ne diye jalae the
gaya wo shaKHs mujhe chhoD kar andhere mein

Afzal Allahabadi

---

---

wo jis ne dekha nahin ishq ka kabhi maktab
main us ke hath mein dil ki kitab kya deta

Afzal Allahabadi
