khudaa bhi kaisaa huaa khush mire qarine par — Muzaffar Abdali

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad

rah-guzar kaa hai taqaazaa ki abhi aur chalo
ek ummid jo manzil ke nishaan tak pahunchi

kashtiyaan likhti rahein roz kahaani apni
mauj kahti hi rahi zer-o-zabar main hi huun

bahaknaa meri fitrat mein nahin par
sambhalne mein pareshaani bahut hai

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

'munir' is mulk par aaseb kaa saaya hai yaa kyaa hai
ki harkat tez-tar hai aur safar aahista aahista

gar Thahre malak aage unhon ke to ajab hai
phirte hain paDe dilli ke launDe jo pari se

ye savaad-e-shahr aur aisaa kahaan husn-e-malih
shash-jihat mein mulk dekhaa hi nahin punjab saa

dayaar-e-ghair mein luTte to koi baat na thi
luTe vatan mein to sadma huaa na jaane kyuun

ham ahl-e-qafas tanhaa bhi nahin har roz nasim-e-subh-e-vatan
yaadon se moattar aati hai ashkon se munavvar jaati hai
