احسان لے نہ ہمت مردانہ چھوڑ کر — نظم طباطبائی

Ehsaan le na himmat-e-mardana chhod kar

Ehsaan le na himmat-e-mardana chhod kar
Rasta bhi chal to sabza-e-begana chhod kar
Marne ke baad phir nahin koi shareek-e-haal
Jata hai shama-e-kushta ko parwana chhod kar
Honton pe aaj tak hain shab-e-aish ke maze
Saqi ka lab liya lab-e-paimana chhod kar
Af'i nahin khuli hui zulfon ka aks hai
Jate kahan ho aaina o shana chhod kar
Tool-e-amal pe dil na lagana ke ahl-e-bazm
Jaenge natamam ye afsana chhod kar
Labrez jam-e-umar hua aa gayi ajal
Lo uth gaye bhara hua paimana chhod kar
Is peer-e-zaal-e-dahr ki hum thokaron mein hi hain
Jab se gayi hai himmat-e-mardana chhod kar
Pahron hamara aap mein aana mahal hai
Koson nikal gaya dil-e-dewana chhod kar
Utra jo shisha taaq se zahid ka hai ye haal
Karta hai raqs-e-sajda-e-shukrana chhod kar
Ye sama'a o riya to nishani hai kufr ki
Zunnar baandh subha-e-sad-dana chhod kar
Rindan-e-maykada bhi hain aye Khizr muntazir
Basti mein aaiye kabhi veerana chhod kar
Ehsaan sar pe laghzish-e-mastana ka hua
Hum do qadam na ja sake may-khana chhod kar
Waadi bahut muheeb hai beem o ummeed ka
Dekhenge sher par dil-e-dewana chhod kar
Ro ro ke kar rahi hai surahi widaa use
Jata hai dur dur jo paimana chhod kar
Tauba to ki hai Nazm bana hogi kis tarah
Kyun kar jiyoge mashrab-e-rindana chhod kar
