ye havaaein uD na jaaein le ke kaaghaz kaa badan — Rahat Indori

main aa kar dushmanon mein bas gayaa huun
yahaan hamdard hain do-chaar mere

us ki yaad aai hai saanso zaraa aahista chalo
dhaDkanon se bhi ibaadat mein khalal paDtaa hai

dosti jab kisi se ki jaae
dushmanon ki bhi raae li jaae

chaand suraj miri chaukhaT pe kai sadiyon se
roz likkhe hue chehre pe savaal aate hain

main mar jaaun to meri ek alag pahchaan likh denaa
lahu se meri peshaani pe hindustaan likh denaa

botalein khol kar to pi barson
aaj dil khol kar bhi pi jaae

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

ghussa aataa hai pyaar aataa hai
ghair ke ghar se yaar aataa hai

ai adam ke musaafiro hoshiyaar
raah mein zindagi khaDi hogi

tiraa visaal baDi chiiz hai magar ai dost
visaal ko miri duniyaa-e-aarzu na banaa

hamein dekho hamaare paas baiTho ham se kuchh sikho
hamin ne pyaar maangaa thaa hamin ne daagh paae hain

gai thi kah ke main laati huun zulf-e-yaar ki bu
phiri to baad-e-sabaa kaa dimaagh bhi na milaa
