aai sadaa-e-haq ki yahi band-o-bast hain — Saghar Khayyami

chehre to jhurriyon se bhare dil javaan hain
din mein hain shaikh raat mein salmaan-khaan hain

ab aap hi bataaein vo kaise nibhaaegaa
jis ko nasib dum nahin vo kyaa hilaae gaa

ek qaidi subh ko phaansi lagaa kar mar gayaa
raat bhar ghazlein sunaain us ko thaanedaar ne

mahngaai ke zamaane mein bachchon ki rel-pel
aisaa na ho kamar tiri mahngaai toD de

hamaare laal ko darkaar hai vahi laDki
ki jis kaa baap police mein ho kam se kam deputy

kitne chehre lage hain chehron par
kyaa haqiqat hai aur siyaasat kyaa

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

sameT bikhre hue kaaghzaat ko apne
koi sadaa tujhe vaapas bulaane vaali hai

saunp kar khaana-e-dil gham ko kidhar jaate ho
phir na paaoge agar us ne ye ghar chhoD diyaa

main chup rahaa to aankh se aansu ubal paDe
jab bolne lagaa miri aavaaz phaT gai
