iid kaa din hai gale mil liije — Abdul Salam Bengluri

dil ki haalat bayaan nahin hoti
khaamushi jab zabaan nahin hoti

jo ye hindostaan nahin hotaa
to ye urdu zabaan nahin hoti

sher kahne ki tabiat na rahi
jis se aamad thi vo surat na rahi

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

sabza o gul kahaan se aae hain
abr kyaa chiiz hai havaa kyaa hai

kuchh phulon ki khaatir bhi kuchh phulon kaa
sab se achchhaa rang churaanaa paDtaa hai

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

qaatil tiri gali bhi badaun se kam nahin
jis ke qadam qadam pe mazaar-e-shahid hai

ham ko is ki kyaa khabar gulshan kaa gulshan jal gayaa
ham to apnaa sirf apnaa aashiyaan dekhaa kiye
