miTTi mein kitne phuul paDe sukhte rahe — Hosh Jaunpuri

aane vaale daur mein jo paaegaa paighambari
meraa chehra meraa dil meri zabaan le jaaegaa

mere hi paanv mire sab se baDe dushman hain
jab bhi uThte hain usi dar ki taraf jaate hain

khudaa badal na sakaa aadmi ko aaj bhi 'hosh'
aur ab tak aadmi ne saikDon khudaa badle

divaar un ke ghar ki miri dhuup le gai
ye baat bhulne mein zamaana lagaa mujhe

kyaa sitam karte hain miTTi ke khilaune vaale
raam ko rakkhe hue baiThe hain raavan ke qarib

jaane kis kis kaa galaa kaTtaa pas-e-parda-e-ishq
khul gae meri shahaadat mein sitamgar kitne

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

gul kiyaa jis ne vo thaa aur magar
shama ne shikva havaaon se kiyaa

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

aur kyaa chaahti hai gardish-e-ayyaam ki ham
apnaa ghar bhuul gae un ki gali bhuul gae

qabaa-e-laala-o-gul mein jhalak rahi thi khizaan
bhari bahaar mein royaa kiye bahaar ko ham
