barbaad gulistaan karne ko bas ek hi ullu kaafi thaa — Shauq Bahraichi

har mulk is ke aage jhuktaa hai ehtiraaman
har mulk kaa hai father hindostaan hamaaraa

abhi to hazrat-e-vaaiz mazammat mai ki karte hain
agar mai-khaane mein un kaa guzar hogaa to kyaa hogaa

baDe hausle the pahle baDe valvale the pahle
jo amal kaa vaqt aayaa hue aap nau-do-gyaaraa

bhalaa 'shauq' dekhun kyunkar rukh-e-pur-shikan kaa manzar
mire daant hi kahaan hain jo main khaa sakun chhuaaraa

hamaare rahbaraan-e-qaum-o-millat 'shauq' kyaa kam hain
vatan mein gar na koi barber hogaa to kyaa hogaa

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

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

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

khizaan kaa bhes banaa kar bahaar ne maaraa
mujhe do-rangi-e-lail-o-nahaar ne maaraa

main us gulshan kaa bulbul huun bahaar aane nahin paati
ki sayyaad aan kar meraa gulistaan mol lete hain

raat yuun dil mein tiri khoi hui yaad aai
jaise viraane mein chupke se bahaar aa jaae
