lo aaj ham ne toD diyaa rishta-e-umid — Sahir Ludhianvi

main jise pyaar kaa andaaz samajh baiThaa huun
vo tabassum vo takallum tiri aadat hi na ho

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

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

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

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad

aasmaan jhaank rahaa hai 'khaalid'
chaand kamre mein mire utraa hai

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

kaho kyaa mehrbaan naa-mehrbaan taqdir hoti hai
kahaa maan ki duaaon mein baDi taasir hoti hai

ghulaami mein na kaam aati hain shamshirein na tadbirein
jo ho zauq-e-yaqin paidaa to kaT jaati hain zanjirein
