Kis Qayamat Ki Ghata Chhayi

Kis qayamat ki ghaTa chhayi hai.
Dil ki har choT ubhar aayi hai.

Dard badnaam, tamanna rusva;
Ishq rusvaai hi rusvaai hai.

Us ne phir yaad kiya hai shaayad;
Dil dhaRakne ki sada aayi hai.

Zulf-o-ruKhsar ka manzar tauba;
Shaam aur subh ki yakjaai hai.

Ham se chhup chhup ke sanvarne vaale;
Chashm-e-aaina tamashai hai.

Dil tamanna se hai kitna bezaar;
Thokarein kha ke samajh aayi hai.

Tum se 'Mahir' ko nahien koi gila;
Us ne qismat hi buri paayi hai.
