apnon se jang hai to bhale haar jaun main
lekin main apne sath sipahi na launga
Akhtar Shahjahanpuri
chalo amn-o-aman hai mai-kade mein
wahin kuchh pal Thahar kar dekhte hain
Akhtar Shahjahanpuri
dilon mein karb baDhta ja raha hai
magar chehre abhi shadab se hain
Akhtar Shahjahanpuri
jam-e-sharab ab to mere samne na rakh
aankhon mein nur hath mein jumbish kahan hai a
Akhtar Shahjahanpuri
jugnu tha kahkashan tha sitara tha ya guhar
aansu kisi ki aankh se jab tak gira na tha
Akhtar Shahjahanpuri
koi manzar nahin barsat ke mausam mein bhi
us ki zulfon se phisalti hui dhupon jaisa
Akhtar Shahjahanpuri
laj rakhni paD gai hai doston ki
hum bhari mahfil mein jhuTe ho gae hain
Akhtar Shahjahanpuri
log ye soch ke hi pareshan hain
main zamin tha to kyun aasman ho gaya
Akhtar Shahjahanpuri
main jhuT ko sachchai ke paikar mein sajata
kya kijiye mujh ko ye hunar hi nahin aaya
Akhtar Shahjahanpuri
