Song
ایمان تو گیا ۔ داغ دہلوی
۱
خاطر سے یا لحاظ سے میں مان تو گیا
جھوٹی قسم سے آپ کا ایمان تو گیا
۲
دل لے کے مفت کہتے ہیں کچھ کام کا نہیں
اُلٹی شکایتیں ہوئیں احسان تو گیا
۳
ڈرتا ہوں دیکھ کر دلِ بے آرزو کو میں
سُنسان گھر یہ کیوں نہ ہو مہمان تو گیا
۴
کیا آئے راحت آئی جو کنجِ مزار میں
وہ ولولہ وہ شوق وہ ارمان تو گیا
۵
دیکھا ہے بتکدے میں جو اے شیخ کچھ نہ پوچھ
ایمان کی تو یہ ہے کہ ایمان تو گیا
۶
افشائے رازِ عشق میں گو ذِلّتیں ہوئیں
لیکن اُسے جتا تو دیا جان تو گیا
۷
گو نامہ بر سے خوش نہ ہوا پر ہزار شکر
مجھ کو وہ میرے نام سے پہچان تو گیا
۸
بزمِ عدو میں صورتِ پروانہ دل مرا
گو رشک سے جلا ترے قربان تو گیا
۹
ہوش و حواس و تاب و تواں داغؔ جا چکے
اب ہم بھی جانے والے ہیں سامان تو گیا
ईमान तो गया – दाग़ देहलवी
१
ख़ातिर से या लेहाज़ से मैं मान तो गया
झूटी क़सम से आप का ईमान तो गया
२
दिल ले के मुफ़्त कहते हैं कुछ काम का नहीं
उल्टी शिकायतें हुईं एहसान तो गया
३
डरता हूँ देख कर दिल-ए बे-आरज़ू को मैं
सुनसान घर ये क्यूँ न हो मेहमान तो गया
४
क्या आए राहत आई जो कुंज-ए मज़ार में
वो वलवला वो शौक़ वो अरमान तो गया
५
देखा है बुत-कदे में जो ऐ शैख़ कुछ न पूछ
ईमान की तो ये है के ईमान तो गया
६
इफ़्शा-ए राज़-ए इश्क़ में गो ज़िल्लतें हुईं
लेकिन उसे जता तो दिया जान तो गया
७
गो नामा-बर से ख़ुश न हुआ पर हज़ार शुक्र
मुझ को वो मेरे नाम से पहचान तो गया
८
बज़्म-ए अदू में सूरत-ए परवाना दिल मेरा
गो रश्क से जला तेरे क़ुर्बान तो गया
९
होश ओ हवास ओ ताब ओ तवाँ दाग़ जा चुके
अब हम भी जाने वाले हैं सामान तो गया
