Classic Poem

tuu is qadar mujhe apne qareeb lagtaa hai
tujhe alag se jo sochuuN, ajiib lagtaa hai

jise na Husn se matlab na ishq se sarokaar
vo shaksh mujh ko bahut bad-nasiib lagtaa hai

huduud-e-zaat se baahar nikal ke dekh zaraa
na ko'ii Ghair, na ko'ii raqeeb lagtaa hai

ye dostii, ye maraasim, ye chaahateiN ye Khuluus
kabhii kabhii ye sab kuch ajiib lagtaa hai

ufaq pe duur chamaktaa huvaa ko'ii taaraa
mujhe charaaGh-e-dayaar-e-Habeeb lagtaa hai

na jaane kab ko'ii tuufaaN aaye gaa yaaroN
buland mauj se saaHil qareeb lagtaa hai
