Daag Dehlvi

Darate hai.n chashm-o-zulf, nigaah-o-adaa se ham
har dam panaah maa.Ngate hai.n har balaa se ham 

maashuuq jaaye huur mile, may bajaaye aab
mahashar me.n do savaal kare.nge Khudaa se ham 

go haal-e-dil chhupaate hai.n par is ko kyaa kare.n
aate hai.n Khud Khud nazar ik mubatalaa se ham 

dekhe.n to pahale kaun miTe usakii raah me.n
baiThe hai.n shart baa.ndh ke har naqsh-e-paa se ham 

ajab apanaa haal hotaa jo visaal-e-yaar hotaa 

kabhii jaan sadaqe hotii kabhii dil nisaar hotaa 

na mazaa hai dushmanii me.n na hai lutf dostii me.n 

koii Gair Gair hotaa koii yaar yaar hotaa 

ye mazaa thaa dillagii kaa ke baraabar aag lagatii 

na tumhe.n qaraar hotaa na hame.n qaraar hotaa 

tere waade par sitamagar abhii aur sabr karate 

agar apanii zindagii kaa hame.n aitabaar hotaa 

Gazab kiyaa, tere vaade pe aitabaar kiyaa 

tamaam raat qayaamat kaa i.ntezaar kiyaa 

ha.Nsaa ha.Nsaa ke shab-e-vasl ashk-baar kiyaa 

tasalliyaa.N mujhe de-de ke beqaraar kiyaa

ham aise mahv-e-nazaaraa na the jo hosh aataa 

magar tumhaare taGaaful ne hoshiyaar kiyaa

fasaana-e-shab-e-Gam un ko ek kahaanii thhii 

kuchh aitabaar kiyaa aur kuchh naa-aitabaar kiyaa

ye kisane jalvaa hamaare sar-e-mazaar kiyaa 

ki dil se shor uThaa, haa_e! beqaraar kiyaa 

ta.Dap phir ai dil-e-naadaa.N, ki Gair kahate hai.n 

aaKhir kuchh na banii, sabr iKhtiyaar kiyaa 

bhulaa bhulaa ke jataayaa hai unako raaz-e-nihaa.N 

chhipaa chhipaa ke mohabbat ko aashakaar kiyaa 

[raaz-e-nihaa.N=hidden secret; aashakaar=reveal] 

tumhe.n to vaadaa-e-diidaar ham se karanaa thaa 

ye kyaa kiyaa ke jahaa.N ko ummiidavaar kiyaa

ye dil ko taab kahaa.N hai ke ho maalandesh 

u.nho.ne vaadaa kiyaa ham ne aitabaar kiyaa

na puuchh dil kii haqiiqat magar ye kahate hai.n 

vo beqaraar rahe jisane beqaraar kiyaa 

kuchh aage daavar-e-mahashar se hai ummiid mujhe 

kuchh aap ne mere kahane kaa aitabaar kiyaa 

rasm-e-ulfat sikhaa gayaa ko_ii 

dil kii duniyaa pe chhaa gayaa ko_ii 

taa qayaamat kisii tarah na bujhe 

aag aisii lagaa gayaa ko_ii 

dil kii duniyaa ujaa.D sii kyuu.N hai 

kyaa yahaa.N se chalaa gayaa ko_ii 

vaqt-e-ruKhsat gale lagaa kar "Daag" 

ha.Nsate ha.Nsate rulaa gayaa ko_ii
