tere nisaar saaqiyaa jitni piyun pilaae jaa — Unknown

log kaanTon se bach ke chalte hain
main ne phulon se zakhm khaae hain

dil TuTne se thoDi si taklif to hui
lekin tamaam umr ko aaraam ho gayaa

duniyaa mein vahi shakhs hai taazim ke qaabil
jis shakhs ne haalaat kaa rukh moD diyaa ho

miri namaaz-e-janaaza paDhi hai ghairon ne
mare the jin ke liye vo rahe vazu karte

ye hamin hain ki tiraa dard chhupaa kar dil mein
kaam duniyaa ke ba-dastur kiye jaate hain

jin ke kirdaar se aati ho sadaaqat ki mahak
un ki tadris se patthar bhi pighal sakte hain

na tum hosh mein ho na ham hosh mein hain
chalo mai-kade mein vahin baat hogi

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

koi puraanaa khat kuchh bhuli-bisri yaad
zakhmon par vo lamhe marham hote hain

mai-kasho aage baDho tishna-labo aage baDho
apnaa haq maangaa nahin jaataa hai chhinaa jaae hai

ham na piyeinge bhiik ki saaqi
le ye tiraa paimaana paDaa hai

ham pe guzraa hai vo bhi vaqt 'khumaar'
jab shanaasaa bhi ajnabi se mile
