Hijr

tu pas tha ji ko chain kuchh tha
tera jaana ki aafat aai

nazron se chhupa jo tera chehra
mere sar par qayamat aai

baqi thoDa sa din tha lekin
meri aankhon mein tha andhera

kyunkar ho sabr mujh se mumkin
dil ko har-dam hai dhyan tera

ai zulm ke aur sitam ke bani
ai shoKH jafa-shiar ayyar

mujh ko dubhar hai zindagani
meri aankhon mein hai jahan tar

ai barq-misal ai trahdar
ai mah-jabin ghazal-sirat

mujh par tar-e-nafas hai ek bar
mujh se koson pare hai rahat

ghar-bhar sota hai ek betab
aahen bhar kar taDap raha hai

bhule bhi aankh ko nahin KHwab
zulmat-e-shab ki ajab bala hai

hargiz hargiz mujhe mayassar
aai koi ghaDi na rahat

kaisa kaisa raha hun muztar
kitni kitni uThai zahmat

dil ko hai saKHt be-qarari
jine ke paD gae hain lale

dil ki haalat na ye miTegi
jab tak tu hi na phir sambhaale

mujh ko tanhai go satae
tujh ko aish-o-tarab ho maimun

mujh par aafat hazar aae
tujh se KHush-talai ho maqrun

tujh se chhuTna hai saKHt mushkil
jab tak hai hafize mein qudrat

tera tera rahega ye dil
jab tak na milae tujh se qismat
