phirte hain ab bhi dil ko gareban kiye hue

phirte hain ab bhi dil ko gareban kiye hue
jin wahshiyon pe hain tere ehsan kiye hue
tajdid-e-'ishq kya ho ke barson guzar gae
tujh se koi sukhan bhi meri jaan kiye hue


ab tujh se kya gila ho ke ek 'umr ho gai
hum ko bhi qasd-e-kucha-e-jaanan kiye hue
dil se hui hai phir tere bare mein guftugu
tar aansuon se dida-o-daman kiye hue


ji manta nahin hai ki hum bhi bhula chuken
teri tarah se wa'da-o-paiman kiye hue
kuchh zid mein nasehon ki tujhe chahte rahe
kuchh pasdari-e-dil-e-nadan kiye hue


hum wo ki tujh ko she'r mein taswir kar diya
surat-garan-e-shahr ko hairan kiye hue
bazar sard tha na kharidar kam-nazar
hum khud the apne aap ko arzan kiye hue


ai 'ishq hum se aur bhi honge zamane mein
achchhe-bhale gharon ko bayaban kiye hue
kuchh hum se na-murad ki phirte hain ku-ba-ku
dil ko kisi faqir ka daman kiye hue


wa'da kiya tha us ne kisi sham ka kabhi
hum aaj tak hain ghar mein charaghan kiye hue
ab us ke jaur se bhi gae hum ki jab se hain
apne kiye pe us ko pasheman kiye hue


ye ratjage qubul ki aaram se to hain
rakhte the warna khwab pareshan kiye hue
hum wo asir hain ki zamane guzar gae
band apne aap par dar-e-zindan kiye hue


tark-e-wafa ke ba'd hawas ikhtiyar ki
is karobar mein bhi hain nuqsan kiye hue
jaan-e-'faraaz' marg-e-tamanna ke bawajud
bhule nahin hamin tere ehsan kiye hue
