Hindustani Poetry: Jaane bhi do
Arsa beet gya ab
kyon pakad ke rakha hai?
zakhm purane ho gaye sab
waqt sab bhar chala hai.
Der ho gayi maana
zindigi phir bhi chal rahi
zaroori nahi sab kuch paana
nayi manzil awaaz de rahi.
Taaney parey hatao
taazgi aaney do
ehsaan na jatao
baasipan aur gham jaane do.
Kuch uski rehmat
kahin pe aazmaaish
kahin pe qismat
na karo koi ab saazish.
Taaley paday hain dilon pe
unko kholna zaroori sa
meethi si dastak darwaazon pe
jaise koi khoobsoorat mod sa.
Gutthi milakar suljhao
yeh padaav haseen
bus aur na uljhao
ab kyon na rahein khushaal aur mutmaeen.
