Khaatir se yaa lihaaz se mai.n maan to gayaa
DaaG Dehlvi

Khaatir se yaa lihaaz se mai.n maan to gayaa
jhuuThii qasam se aap kaa imaan to gayaa

dil leke muft kahate hai.n kuchh kaam kaa nahii.n
ulaTii shikayate.n rahii ehasaan to gayaa

ab shaay-e-raaz-e-ishq go zillate.n hu_ii
lekin use jataa to diyaa, jaan to gayaa

[shaay-e-raaz-e-ishq=secret of love being known; zillat=insult/humiliation]

dekhaa hai butakade me.n jo ai sheKh kuchh na kuchh
iimaan kii to ye hai ki iimaan to gayaa

Darataa huu.N dekh kar dil-e-be-aarazuu ko mai.n
sun-saan ghar ye kyuu.N na ho mehamaan to gayaa

go naamaabar se Khush na huaa par hazaar shukr
mujh ko vo mere naam se pahachaan to gayaa

hosh-o-havaas-o-taab-o-tavaa.N "Daag" jaa chuke
ab ham bhii jaane vaale hai.n saamaan to gayaa

[hosh-o-havaas-o-taab-o-tavaa.N=sense, sensibility, strength, health]
