vaqt-e-rukhsat tiri aankhon kaa vo jhuk saa jaanaa — 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

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

jo chhupaa letaa hai divaar ki uryaani ko
dosto aisaa calendar nahin pheinkaa jaataa

baiThaa hai jo ki saaya-e-divaar-e-yaar mein
farmaan-ravaa-e-kishvar-e-hindustaan hai

har taraf dosti kaa mela hai
phir bhi har aadmi akelaa hai

ghair ho koi to us se khul ke baatein kijiye
doston kaa doston se hi gila achchhaa nahin

ek dard ki lazzat barqaraar rakhne ko
kuchh latif jazbon ki khuun se aabyaari ki
