khaar ko to zabaan-e-gul bakhshi — Habib Tanvir

main nahin jaa paaungaa yaaro su-e-gulzaar abhi
dekhni hai aab-ju-e-zist ki raftaar abhi

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

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

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

be-ilm shaairon kaa gila kyaa hai ai 'munir'
hai ahl-e-ilm ko tiraa tarz-e-bayaan pasand

ai sanam tu vo kanhayyaa hai balaaein luun agar
baansuli ki tarah naalaan hon saraapaa ungliyaan

jaise ye mez miTTi kaa haathi ye phuul
ek kone mein ham bhi hain rakkhe hue
