baal rukhsaaron se jab us ne haTaae to khulaa — Parveen Umm

havaa mein jab uDaa parda to ik bijli si kaundi thi
khudaa jaane tumhaaraa partav-e-rukhsaar thaa kyaa thaa

kuchh to kami ho roz-e-jazaa ke azaab mein
ab se piyaa kareinge milaa kar gulaab mein

agar lohe ke gumbad mein rakheinge aqrabaa un ko
vahin pahunchaaegaa aashiq kisi tadbir se kaaghaz

na aayaa kar ke vaada vasl kaa iqraar thaa kyaa thaa
kisi ke bas mein thaa majbur thaa laachaar thaa kyaa thaa

kis tarah kar diyaa dil-e-naazuk ko chur-chur
is vaaqia ki khaak hai patthar ko ittilaaa

pi baada-e-ahmar to ye kahne lagaa gul-ru
main surkh huun tum surkh zamin surkh zamaan surkh

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

vahi jiine ki aazaadi vahi marne ki jaldi hai
divaali dekh li ham ne dasahre kar liye ham ne

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

main bahut kamzor thaa is mulk mein hijrat ke baad
par mujhe is mulk mein kamzor-tar us ne kiyaa

na puchho ham-safaro mujh se maajraa-e-vatan
vatan hai mujh pe fidaa aur main fidaa-e-vatan
