Aine se nazer mila baithe

[R. M. Dixit]

Aine se nazer mila baithe
Khud ko khud ki nazer laga baithe.

Kya karega bechara aina
Husna kuch jab sabra gavan baithe.

Is kader bad chuka the dewanapan
apne hathon se gher jala baithe.

Ab shikayat karen kya gairon se
Jab wo apne se dhoka kha baithe.

Ishq to khud ek aatishi shai hai
Is se lau kya laga baithe.

Ishq ki shama ko jalane mai
Dil ki kandeel bujha baithe.

[Mohammad Sajid]
