منہ نہ ڈھانکو اب تو صورت دیکھ لی — رند لکھنوی

Munh na dhaanko ab to soorat dekh li

Munh na dhaanko ab to soorat dekh li
Dekh li aye hoor-tala'at dekh li
Shakal badli aur soorat ho gai
Ek nazar jis ne woh soorat dekh li
Ek but sajda nahin karta tujhe
Bas Khudaya teri qudrat dekh li
Hai ayaan haal-e-sag-e-ashab-e-kahf
Jaanwar ki aadamiyat dekh li
Char din bhi to na tum se nibh saki
Aap ki sahib-salamat dekh li
Jante the hum na eeza-e-hijr ki
Woh bhi sahib ki badolat dekh li
Ghoorte hain ab nigah-e-qehr se
Char din chashm-e-inayat dekh li
Kyun ajal ab zehr paswata huun main
Rah teri ek muddat dekh li
Khul gai bande pe qadr o manzilat
Thi jo sahib ki haqeeqat dekh li
Ja ke ghar jhooton na poochhi baat tak
Bas teri jhooti mohabbat dekh li
Us se kahe aadat se jo waqif na ho
Dekh li kho teri khislat dekh li
Bahr-e-hasti mein faqat misl-e-habab
Hai mujhe ek dam ki mohlat dekh li
Aap hairan hoga apne husn ka
Aainay mein gar woh soorat dekh li
Chandni raaton mein chalata phira
Chand si jis ne woh soorat dekh li
Phir wohi hai boriya aur apna faqr
Char din ki jah-o-hashmat dekh li
Kyun churata hai woh kafir mujh se aankh
Kya nigah-e-chashm-e-hasrat dekh li
Yaad aaya Rind woh paimaan shikan
Gar kahin baham mohabbat dekh li
