har sadaa par lage hain kaan yahaan — Faiz Ahmad Faiz

na jaane kis liye ummid-vaar baiThaa huun
ik aisi raah pe jo teri rahguzar bhi nahin

raat yuun dil mein tiri khoi hui yaad aai
jaise viraane mein chupke se bahaar aa jaae

ai zulm ke maato lab kholo chup rahne vaalo chup kab tak
kuchh hashr to un se uTThegaa kuchh duur to naale jaaeinge

chaman pe ghaarat-e-gul-chin se jaane kyaa guzri
qafas se aaj sabaa be-qaraar guzri hai

sab qatl ho ke tere muqaabil se aae hain
ham log surkh-ru hain ki manzil se aae hain

karo kaj jabin pe sar-e-kafan mire qaatilon ko gumaan na ho
ki ghurur-e-ishq kaa baankpan pas-e-marg ham ne bhulaa diyaa

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

is hi buniyaad par kyuun na mil jaaein ham
aap tanhaa bahut ham akele bahut

tere siine mein bhi ik daagh hai tanhaai kaa
jaantaa main to kabhi duur na hotaa tujh se

gham ki duniyaa rahe aabaad 'shakil'
muflisi mein koi jaagir to hai
