Daag Dehlvi

Hamare khat main neya ik salaam kis ka tha,
Na tha raqeeb to aakhir woh naam kis ka tha,

Woh qatl kar ke mujhe har kisi se puchte hain,
Yeh kaam kis ne kiya hai yeh kaam kis ka tha,

Wafa karen ge nibhayen ge baat maanen ge,
Tumhen bhi yaad hai kuch yeh kalaam kis ka tha,

Raha na dil main woh bedard aur dard raha,
Muqeem kaun hua hai maqaam kis ka tha,

Naa puch-gachh thi kisi ki wahan na aao-bhagat,
Tumhari bazam main kal ehtimaam kis ka tha,

Hamare khat ke to purze kiye parrha bhi nahin,
Suna jo tu ne ba-dil woh payaam kis ka tha,

Guzar geya woh zamana kahoon to kis se kahoon,
Khayaal dil ko mere subh-o-shaam kis ka tha,

Har ik se kehte hain kya “dagh” bewafa nikla,
Yeh puche un se koi woh ghulaam kis ka tha..

Aarzuu hai wafaa kare koi,
Jee na chaahe to kya kare koi,

Gr maraz ho davaa kare koi,
Marne wale ka kya kare koi,

Kosstay hain jale huye kya kya,
apne haq main duaa kare koi,

Un se sab apni apni kehte hian,
Mera matlab adaa kare koi,

Chaah se aap ko to nafrat hai,
Mujh ko chaahe khuda kare koi,

Iss gile ko gila nahin kehte,
Gar maze ka gila kare koi,

Yeh mili daad ranj-e-furqat ki,
Aur dil kaa kahaa kare koi,

Tum saraapa ho suurat-e-tasveer,
Tum se phir baat kya kare koi,

Kehte hain hum nahin khudaa-e-kareem,
Kyun hamari khataa kare koi,

Jis mei laakhon baras ki huuren hon,
Aisi jannat ko kya kare koi,

Is jafaa pr tumhe tamanna hai,
Ke meri iltijaa kare koi,

Muun lagaate hi Daagh itraaya,
Lutf hai phir jafaa kare koi..

Kyun vasl ki shabb hath lagane nahin dete,
Maashuuq ho ya koi amaanat ho kissi ki..

Khoob parda hai ke chilman se lage bethe hain,
Saaf chupte bhi nahi saamne aatey bhi naheen..

Le chala jaan meri rooth ke jana tera,
Aese aaney se to behter tha naa ana tera..

Raha na dil main woh be’dard aur dard raha,
Muqeem kon hua hai, maqaam kis ka thaa..

Kyun vasl ki shab hath laganey nahin dete,
Maashooq ho ya koi amaanat ho kissi ki..

Rahe ga ishq tera khaak mein mila ke mujhe,
Ke ibtidaa mein huye ranj intihaa ke mujhe,

Diye hain hijar mein dukh dard kis balaa ke mujhe,
Shab-e-firaaq ne maara litaa litaa ke mujhe,

Baghair maut ke kis tarah koi marta hai,
Mera raqeeb bhi roya galey laga ke mujhe,

Har ik shakhss ko haasil judaa hai kefiyat,
Jafaa ke lutf tujhe hain, mazey wafaa ke,

Ghazab ki aah meri, Daagh naam hai mera,
Tamaam sheher jalaao ge kya jalaa ke mujhe..
