ghurbat ki subh mein bhi nahin hai vo raushni — Hasrat Mohani

gham-e-aarzu kaa 'hasrat' sabab aur kyaa bataaun
miri himmaton ki pasti mire shauq ki bulandi

raat din naama-o-paighaam kahaan tak doge
saaf kah dijiye milnaa hamein manzur nahin

'hasrat' bahut hai martaba-e-aashiqi buland
tujh ko to muft logon ne mashhur kar diyaa

taasir-e-barq-e-husn jo un ke sukhan mein thi
ik larzish-e-khafi mire saare badan mein thi

ham kyaa karein agar na tiri aarzu karein
duniyaa mein aur bhi koi tere sivaa hai kyaa

chhup nahin sakti chhupaane se mohabbat ki nazar
paD hi jaati hai rukh-e-yaar pe hasrat ki nazar

hai ajab nizaam zakaat kaa mire mulk mein mire des mein
ise kaaTtaa koi aur hai ise baanTtaa koi aur hai

azmat-e-mulk is siyaasat ke
haath nilaam ho rahi hai ab

ye kaisi siyaasat hai mire mulk pe haavi
insaan ko insaan se judaa dekh rahaa huun

kabhi jo khidmat-e-qaumi kaa paar letaa huun
to muflison ki langoTi utaar letaa huun

paara-e-dil hai vatan ki sarzamin mushkil ye hai
shahr ko viraan yaa is dil ko viraana kahein

yuun ruuh thi adam mein miri bahr-e-tan udaas
ghurbat mein jis tarah ho gharib-ul-vatan udaas
