dawaton mein shairi

da.avatoñ meñ shā.irī ab ho ga.ī hai rasm-e-ām

yuuñ bhī shā.ir se liyā jaatā hai akasr intiqām

pahle khānā us ko khilvāte haiñ bhūke kī tarah

phir use karte haiñ isti.māl mīThe kī tarah

suniye ik sāhab kā qissa jo baḌe fankār haiñ

haañ magar thoḌe se dāvat-ḳhor o duniyā-dār haiñ

ek dāvat meñ unheñ gaanā bhī thā khāne ke ba.ad

''vo tire aane se pahle ye tire jaane ke ba.ad''

shā.er-e-mausūf the is field meñ bilkul na.e

is liye vo kuchh zarūrat se ziyāda khā ga.e

qorma stū pasanda, kofta, shāmī kabāb

jaane kyā kyā khā gayā ye shā.er-e-me.ada-ḳharāb

kuchh na pūchho is amal se un ko kyā hāsil huā

un ke maazī se judā ḳhud un kā mustaqbil huā

sher paḌhne ke liye mausūf jab masnad par aa.e

zor to puurā lagā Daalā magar kuchh paḌh na paa.e

chāhte ye the maiñ kuchh hāl-e-dil-e-rūdād-e-ġham

muñh se sirf itnā hī niklā mammā-mammā-mammā-mam

dekh kar un kī ye hālat ik adīb-e-zinda-dil

un se ye kahne lagā ai bevaqūf-e-mustaqil

aa ke bazm-e-sher meñ shart-e-vafā puurī to kar

jitnā khānā khā gayā hai utnī mazdūrī to kar

ba.ad-e-sher-o-shā.erī khāne kā rakhiye intizām

ye ġhalat dastūr hai pahle ta.aam aur phir kalām

ye na hogā to adab zer-e-zamīñ gaḌ jā.egā

ḳhush-gulū shā.ir to khānā khā ke Thas paḌ jā.egā

dawaton mein shairi ab ho gai hai rasm-e-am

yun bhi shair se liya jata hai akasr intiqam

pahle khana us ko khilwate hain bhuke ki tarah

phir use karte hain istimal miThe ki tarah

suniye ek sahab ka qissa jo baDe fankar hain

han magar thoDe se dawat-KHor o duniya-dar hain

ek dawat mein unhen gana bhi tha khane ke baad

wo tere aane se pahle ye tere jaane ke baad

shaer-e-mausuf the is field mein bilkul nae

is liye wo kuchh zarurat se ziyaada kha gae

qorma stu pasanda, kofta, shami kabab

jaane kya kya kha gaya ye shaer-e-meada-KHarab

kuchh na puchho is amal se un ko kya hasil hua

un ke mazi se juda KHud un ka mustaqbil hua

sher paDhne ke liye mausuf jab masnad par aae

zor to pura laga Dala magar kuchh paDh na pae

chahte ye the main kuchh haal-e-dil-e-rudad-e-gham

munh se sirf itna hi nikla mamma-mamma-mamma-mam

dekh kar un ki ye haalat ek adib-e-zinda-dil

un se ye kahne laga ai bewaquf-e-mustaqil

aa ke bazm-e-sher mein shart-e-wafa puri to kar

jitna khana kha gaya hai utni mazduri to kar

baad-e-sher-o-shaeri khane ka rakhiye intizam

ye ghalat dastur hai pahle taam aur phir kalam

ye na hoga to adab zer-e-zamin gaD jaega

KHush-gulu shair to khana kha ke Thas paD jaega
