kisi ko saayaa kisi ko gul-o-samar degaa — Rahi Fidai

sabza-zaaron ki sharaafat se na khelo qatan
tum havaa ho to khalaaon se lipaT kar dekho

baraae-naam hi sahi ba-ehtiyaat kijiye
darun-e-kizb-o-iftiraa sadaaqatein khalat-malat

sharaafaton ke rang mein sharaartein khalat-malat
sar-mazaaq ho gaiin himaaqatein khalat-malat

aap ne achchhaa kiyaa tathir-e-khvaahish hi na ki
varna zamzam chashma-e-naapaak hotaa ghaaliban

khud ko mumtaaz banaane ki dili-khvaahish mein
dushman-e-jaan se mili meri anaa saazish mein

har ek shaakh thi larzaan fazaa mein chikh-o-pukaar
havaa ke haath mein ik aab-daar khanjar thaa

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

qaatil tiri gali bhi badaun se kam nahin
jis ke qadam qadam pe mazaar-e-shahid hai

kuchh phulon ki khaatir bhi kuchh phulon kaa
sab se achchhaa rang churaanaa paDtaa hai

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

sabza o gul kahaan se aae hain
abr kyaa chiiz hai havaa kyaa hai

gulaabon ke honTon pe lab rakh rahaa huun
use der tak sochnaa chaahtaa huun
