Daag Dehlvi Poetry

Hua Hai Chaar Sajdon Par Ye Dava Zahidon Tum Ko,

Khuda Ne Kya Tumhare Haath Jannat Bech Dali Hai!

Dil Mein Sama Gayi Hain Qayamat Kee Shokhiyan;
Do-Chaar Din Raha Tha Kisi Kee Nigah Mein!

Rahega Ishq Tera Khaak Mein Mila Ke Mujhe
Ki Ibtidaa Mein Hue Ranj Intihaa Ke Mujhe;
Diye Hain Hijar Mein Dukh Dard Kis Balaa Ke Mujhe;
Shab-e-Firaaq Ne Mara Litaa Litaa Ke Mujhe!

Lutf Wo Ishq Mein Paaye Hain Ki Jee Jaanta Hai
Ranj Bhi Aise Uthaye Hain Ki Jee Jaanta Hai
Jo Zamane Ke Sitam Hain Wo Zamana Jaane
Tu Ne Dil Itne Sataye Hain Ki Jee Jaanta Hai!

Tumhare Khat Mein Naya Ek Salaam Kiska Tha
Na Tha Raqeeb To Aakhir Woh Naam Kiska Tha

Raha Na Dil Mein Woh Bedard Aur Dard Raha
Muqeem Kaun Hua Hai Maqaam Kiska Tha

Wafa Karenge Nibhayenge Baat Maanege;
Tumhe Bhi Yaad Hai Kuch Ye Kalaam Kiska Tha;

Woh Katl Karke Har Kisi Se Puchte Hain;
Yeh Kaam Kisne Kiya Yeh Kaam Kiska Tha;

Guzar Geya Woh Zamana Kahein To Kis Se Kahein
Khyaal Dil Ko Mere Subah-o-Shaam Kiska Tha

Har Ek Se Kehte Hain Kya ‘Daag’ Bewafa Nikala
Ye Puche Inse Koi Woh Ghulam Kiska Tha!

Baat Karte Hain Khushi Kee To Ek Ranj Ke Sath

Woh Hansate Bhi Hain Ke Rula Dete Hain!

Rahe Ga Ishq Tera Khaak Mein Mila Ke Mujhe
Ke Ibtidaa Mein Huye Ranj Intihaa Ke Mujhe

Diye Hain Hijar Mein Dukh Dard Kis Balaa Ke Mujhe
Shab-e-Firaaq Ne Maara Litaa Litaa Ke Mujhe

Baghair Maut Ke Kis Tarah Koi Marta Hai;
Mera Raqeeb Bhi Roya Galey Laga Ke Mujhe;

Har Ik Shakhss Ko Haasil Judaa Hai Kefiyat
Jafaa Ke Lutf Tujhe Hain, Mazey Wafaa Ke

Ghazab Ki Aah Meri, Daagh Naam Hai Mera
Tamaam Sheher Jalaao Ge Kya Jalaa Ke Mujhe!

phir shab-e-gam ne mujhe shakl dikhai kyon kar
ye bala ghar se nikli hui ai kyon kar

tu ne ki gair se meri burai kyon kar
gar na thi dil main to lab par tere ai kyon kar

tum dilazar-o-sitamgar nahin main ne mana
man jayegi ise sari khudai kyon kar

aina dekh k vo kahne lage ap hi ap
aise achon ki kare koi burai kyon kar

kasrat-e-ranj-o-alam sun k ye ilzam mila
itne se dil main hai itnon ki samai kyon kar

dag kal tak to dua ap ki maqbul na thi
aj munh mangi murad ap ne pai kyon kar

Tumhare khath main naya ek salam kis ka tha
na tha raqeeb to akhir wo nam kis ka tha

Wo qatl kar ke har kisi se puchte hain
ye kaam kis ne kiya hai ye kaam kis ka tha

Wafa karenge nibhayenge baat manenge
tumhen bhi yaad hai kuch ye kalam kis ka tha

Raha na dil main wo be-dard aur dard raha
muqeem kaun hua hai maqam kis ka tha

Na pooch-paach thi kisi ki na aao-bhagat
tumhari bazm main kal ehtamam kis ka tha

Guzar gaya wo zamana kahen to kis se kahen
khayal mere dil ko subah-o-sham kis ka tha

Har ek se kahte hain kya “Daagh” bewafa nikla
ye puche in se koi wo ghulam kis ka tha

Lutf Wo Ishq Mein Paaye Hain Ke Jee Jaanta Hai
Ranj Bhee Aisay Uthaaye Hain Ke Jee Jaanta Hai

Jo Zamaanay Ke Sitam Hain Wo Zamaana Jaanay
TU Ne Dil Itnay Sataaye Hain Ke Jee Jaanta Hai

Muskuraatay Howay Wo Majmaa-e-Agyaar Ke Saath
Aaj Yun Bazm Mein Aaye Hain Ke Jee Jaanta Hai

Kaaba-o-Dair Mein Pathra Gayeen Dono Aankhain
Aisay Jalway Nazar Aaye Hain Ke Jee Jaanta Hai

Dosti Mein Teri Dar-Pardah Hamaaray Dushman
Is Qadar Apne Paraaye Hain Ke Jee Jaanta Hai

Daagh-e-Waarafta Ko Ham Aaj Tere Koochay Se
Is Tarah Khainch Ke Laaye Hain Ke Jee Jaanta Hai
