uzr aane mein bhi hai aur bulate bhi nahin
uzr aane men bhi hai aur bulate bhi nahin
bais-e-tark-e-mulaqat batate bhi nahin
she is loth to come to me and keeps me well away
the cause for this hostility,she does not care to say
muntazir hain dam-e-rukhsat ki ye mar jaae to jaaen
phir ye ehsan ki ham chhod ke jaate bhi nahin
she bothers not i live or die, awaits my dying breath
and even a favour does imply, that she's not gone away
sar uthao to sahi aankh milao to sahi
nashsha-e-mai bhi nahin niind ke maate bhi nahin
at least do lift your face and let your eyes look into mine
no wine that stupefies as yet nor sleep that holds in sway
kya kaha phir to kaho ham nahin sunte teri
nahin sunte to ham aison ko sunate bhi nahin
what you just said do say once more,"i will pay you no heed"
to all of those, who thus ignore i have no words to say
khuub parda hai ki chilman se lage baithe hain
saaf chhupte bhi nahin samne aate bhi nahin
what coyness this is, to abide,a screen beside her face
which neither does she clearly hide nor openly display
mujh se laghhar tiri ankhon men khatakte to rahe
tujh se nazuk miri nazron men samate bhi nahin
while you profess my ugliness does irritate your sight
and in my eyes your daintiness, can't be contained i say
dekhte hi mujhe mahfil men ye irshad hua
kaun baitha hai use log uthate bhi nahin
noticing my presence near, she asks of those around
say who is this intruder here? and who has let him stay?
ho chuka qata taalluq to jafaen kyuun hon
jin ko matlab nahin rahta vo satate bhi nahin
if all relations have been spurned, then why this cruelty?
those that are really unconcerned, don’t trouble you this way
ziist se tang ho ai 'daghh' to jiite kyuun ho
jaan pyari bhi nahin jaan se jaate bhi nahin
daag if you're tired of this strife, why then remain alive?
as neither do you love your life nor do you leave the fray
uzr aane mein bhi hai aur bulate bhi nahin
bais-e-tark-e-mulaqat batate bhi nahin
she is loth to come to me and keeps me well away
the cause for this hostility,she does not care to say
muntazir hain dam-e-rukhsat ki ye mar jae to jaen
phir ye ehsan ki hum chhod ke jate bhi nahin
she bothers not i live or die, awaits my dying breath
and even a favour does imply, that she's not gone away
sar uthao to sahi aankh milao to sahi
nashsha-e-mai bhi nahin nind ke mate bhi nahin
at least do lift your face and let your eyes look into mine
no wine that stupefies as yet nor sleep that holds in sway
kya kaha phir to kaho hum nahin sunte teri
nahin sunte to hum aison ko sunate bhi nahin
what you just said do say once more,"i will pay you no heed"
to all of those, who thus ignore i have no words to say
khub parda hai ki chilman se lage baithe hain
saf chhupte bhi nahin samne aate bhi nahin
what coyness this is, to abide,a screen beside her face
which neither does she clearly hide nor openly display
mujh se laghar teri aankhon mein khatakte to rahe
tujh se nazuk meri nazron mein samate bhi nahin
while you profess my ugliness does irritate your sight
and in my eyes your daintiness, can't be contained i say
dekhte hi mujhe mahfil mein ye irshad hua
kaun baitha hai use log uthate bhi nahin
noticing my presence near, she asks of those around
say who is this intruder here? and who has let him stay?
ho chuka qata talluq to jafaen kyun hon
jin ko matlab nahin rahta wo satate bhi nahin
if all relations have been spurned, then why this cruelty?
those that are really unconcerned, don’t trouble you this way
zist se tang ho ai 'dagh' to jite kyun ho
jaan pyari bhi nahin jaan se jate bhi nahin
daag if you're tired of this strife, why then remain alive?
as neither do you love your life nor do you leave the fray
mere dil ki rakh kured mat ise muskura ke hawa na de
mire dil ki raakh kured mat ise muskura ke hava na de
ye charaghh phir bhi charaghh hai kahin tera haath jala na de
nae daur ke nae khvab hain nae mausamon ke gulab hain
ye mohabbaton ke charaghh hain inhen nafraton ki hava na de
zara dekh chand ki pattiyon ne bikhar bikhar ke tamam shab
tira naam likkha hai ret par koi lahr aa ke mita na de
main udasiyan na saja sakun kabhi jism-o-jan ke mazar par
na diye jalen miri aankh men mujhe itni sakht saza na de
mire saath chalne ke shauq men badi dhuup sar pe uthaega
tira naak naqsha hai mom ka kahin ghham ki aag ghula na de
main ghhazal ki shabnami aankh se ye dukhon ke phuul chuna karun
miri saltanat mira fan rahe mujhe taj-o-takht khuda na de
mere dil ki rakh kured mat ise muskura ke hawa na de
ye charagh phir bhi charagh hai kahin tera hath jala na de
nae daur ke nae khwab hain nae mausamon ke gulab hain
ye mohabbaton ke charagh hain inhen nafraton ki hawa na de
zara dekh chand ki pattiyon ne bikhar bikhar ke tamam shab
tera nam likkha hai ret par koi lahr aa ke mita na de
main udasiyan na saja sakun kabhi jism-o-jaan ke mazar par
na diye jalen meri aankh mein mujhe itni sakht saza na de
mere sath chalne ke shauq mein badi dhup sar pe uthaega
tera nak naqsha hai mom ka kahin gham ki aag ghula na de
main ghazal ki shabnami aankh se ye dukhon ke phul chuna karun
meri saltanat mera fan rahe mujhe taj-o-takht khuda na de
bhawen tanti hain khanjar hath mein hai tan ke baithe hain
bhaven tanti hain khanjar haath men hai tan ke baithe hain
kisi se aaj bigdi hai ki vo yuun ban ke baithe hain
dilon par saikdon sikke tire joban ke baithe hain
kalejon par hazaron tiir is chitvan ke baithe hain
ilahi kyuun nahin uthti qayamat majra kya hai
hamare samne pahlu men vo dushman ke baithe hain
ye gustakhi ye chhed achchhi nahin hai ai dil-e-nadan
abhi phir ruuth jaenge abhi to man ke baithe hain
asar hai jazb-e-ulfat men to khinch kar aa hi jaenge
hamen parva nahin ham se agar vo tan ke baithe hain
subuk ho jaenge gar jaenge vo bazm-e-dushman men
ki jab tak ghar men baithe hain vo lakhon man ke baithe hain
fusun hai ya dua hai ya muamma khul nahin sakta
vo kuchh padhte hue aage mire madfan ke baithe hain
bahut roya huun main jab se ye main ne khvab dekha hai
ki aap aansu bahate samne dushman ke baithe hain
khade hon zer-e-tuba vo na dam lene ko dam bhar bhi
jo hasrat-mand tere saya-e-daman ke baithe hain
talash-e-manzil-e-maqsad ki gardish uth nahin sakti
kamar khole hue raste men ham rahzan ke baithe hain
ye josh-e-girya to dekho ki jab furqat men roya huun
dar o divar ik pal men mire madfan ke baithe hain
nigah-e-shokh o chashm-e-shauq men dar-parda chhanti hai
ki vo chilman men hain nazdik ham chilman ke baithe hain
ye uthna baithna mahfil men un ka rang laega
qayamat ban ke utthenge bhabuka ban ke baithe hain
kisi ki shamat aaegi kisi ki jaan jaegi
kisi ki taak men vo baam par ban-than ke baithe hain
qasam de kar unhen ye puchh lo tum rang-dhang us ke
tumhari bazm men kuchh dost bhi dushman ke baithe hain
koi chhinta pade to 'daghh' kalkatte chale jaaen
azimabad men ham muntazir savan ke baithe hain
bhawen tanti hain khanjar hath mein hai tan ke baithe hain
kisi se aaj bigdi hai ki wo yun ban ke baithe hain
dilon par saikdon sikke tere joban ke baithe hain
kalejon par hazaron tir is chitwan ke baithe hain
ilahi kyun nahin uthti qayamat majra kya hai
hamare samne pahlu mein wo dushman ke baithe hain
ye gustakhi ye chhed achchhi nahin hai ai dil-e-nadan
abhi phir ruth jaenge abhi to man ke baithe hain
asar hai jazb-e-ulfat mein to khinch kar aa hi jaenge
hamein parwa nahin hum se agar wo tan ke baithe hain
subuk ho jaenge gar jaenge wo bazm-e-dushman mein
ki jab tak ghar mein baithe hain wo lakhon man ke baithe hain
fusun hai ya dua hai ya muamma khul nahin sakta
wo kuchh padhte hue aage mere madfan ke baithe hain
bahut roya hun main jab se ye main ne khwab dekha hai

qasam de kar unhen ye puchh lo tum rang-dhang us ke
tumhaari bazm mein kuchh dost bhi dushman ke baithe hain
koi chhinta pade to 'dagh' kalkatte chale jaen
azimabaad mein hum muntazir sawan ke baithe hain
na jhatko zulf se pani ye moti tut jaenge
na jhatko zulf se paani ye moti tuut jaenge
tumhara kuchh na bigdega magar dil tuut jaenge
ye bhigi raat ye bhiga badan ye husn ka aalam
ye sab andaz mil kar do jahan ko luut jaenge
ye nazuk lab hain ya aapas men do lipti hui kaliyan
zara in ko alag kar do tarannum phuut jaenge
hamari jaan le lega ye nichi aankh ka jaadu
chalo achchha hua mar kar jahan se chhut jaenge
na jhatko zulf se pani ye moti tut jaenge
tumhaara kuchh na bigdega magar dil tut jaenge
ye bhigi raat ye bhiga badan ye husn ka aalam
ye sab andaz mil kar do jahan ko lut jaenge
ye nazuk lab hain ya aapas mein do lipti hui kaliyan
zara in ko alag kar do tarannum phut jaenge
hamari jaan le lega ye nichi aankh ka jadu
chalo achchha hua mar kar jahan se chhut jaenge
kis naz kis andaz se tum hae chalo ho
kis naaz kis andaz se tum haae chalo ho
roz ek ghhazal ham se kahlvae chalo ho
rakhna hai kahin paanv to rakkho ho kahin paanv
chalna zara aaya hai to itrae chalo ho
mai men koi khami hai na saghhar men koi khot
piina nahin aae hai to chhalkae chalo ho
ham kuchh nahin kahte hain koi kuchh nahin kahta
tum kya ho tumhin sab se kahlvae chalo ho
kis naz kis andaz se tum hae chalo ho
roz ek ghazal hum se kahlwae chalo ho
rakhna hai kahin panw to rakkho ho kahin panw
chalna zara aaya hai to itrae chalo ho
mai mein koi khami hai na saghar mein koi khot
pina nahin aae hai to chhalkae chalo ho
hum kuchh nahin kahte hain koi kuchh nahin kahta
tum kya ho tumhin sab se kahlwae chalo ho

aina dekh aur zara muskura ke dekh
is daur men ye tarz-e-jafa aazma ke dekh
dil ke bajae dil ke sukun ko mita ke dekh
taslim ki nazar se karishme raza ke dekh

sarson ki shakh par kal phir jald ek mangai
ek pankhudi utha kar nazuk se ungliyon mein

nazuk badan pe apne poshak wo khapai
