har-chand miri quvvat-e-guftaar hai mahbus — Sahir Ludhianvi

le de ke apne paas faqat ik nazar to hai
kyuun dekhein zindagi ko kisi ki nazar se ham

ham jurm-e-mohabbat ki sazaa paaeinge tanhaa
jo tujh se hui ho vo khataa saath liye jaa

ham amn chaahte hain magar zulm ke khilaaf
gar jang laazmi hai to phir jang hi sahi

hazaar barq gire laakh aandhiyaan uTThein
vo phuul khil ke raheinge jo khilne vaale hain

kaun rotaa hai kisi aur ki khaatir ai dost
sab ko apni hi kisi baat pe ronaa aayaa

milti hai zindagi mein mohabbat kabhi kabhi
hoti hai dilbaron ki inaayat kabhi kabhi

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

vasl ki arz kaa jab vaqt kabhi paataa huun
jaa hain khaamoshi siin tab lab mire aapas mein mil

chup kahin aur liye phirti thi baatein kahin aur
din kahin aur guzarte the to raatein kahin aur

dafnaa diyaa thaa jin ko gunje hain har taraf ab
meri khamoshiyon ko aavaaz mil gai hai

kyuun sharik-e-gham banaate ho kisi ko ai 'qatil'
apni suuli apne kaandhe par uThaao chup raho

dilon ke mel se aage labon ke silsile saare
jo lab khaamosh hote hain to aankhein baat karti hain
