hai justajuu ke khuub se hai khuubtar kahaan - Altaf Husain Hali

hai justajuu ke khuub se hai khuubtar kahaan

ab dekhiye thaharatii hai jaa kar nazar kahaan

yaarab is ikhtilaat ka anjaam ho baakhair

tha us ko ham se rabt, magar is qadar kahaan

ik umr chaahiiye ke gavaaraa ho naish-e-ishq

rakkhii hai aaj lazzat-e-zakhm-e-jigar kahaan

ham jis pe mar rahe hain vo hai baat hii kuchh aur

aalam men tujhase laakh sahii tuu magar kahaan

hotii nahiin qubuul duaa tark-e-ishq kii

dil chaahataa na ho to zubaan men asar kahaan

'hali' nishaat nagmaa-o-mai dhuundhate ho ab

aaye ho waqt-e-subh, rahe raat bhar kahaan
