tum se pahle wo jo ek shaKHs yahan taKHt-nashin tha

dil ki baat labon par la kar ab tak hum dukh sahte hain

sher se shairi se Darte hain

dushmanon ne jo dushmani ki hai

aur sab bhul gae harf-e-sadaqat likhna

bhula bhi de use jo baat ho gai pyare

hujum dekh ke rasta nahin badalte hum

apnon ne wo ranj diye hain begane yaad aate hain

kuchh log KHayalon se chale jaen to soen

is shahr-e-KHarabi mein gham-e-ishq ke mare

ye aur baat teri gali mein na aaen hum

jhuTi KHabren ghaDne wale jhuTe sher sunane wale

phir dil se aa rahi hai sada us gali mein chal

dil-e-pur-shauq ko pahlu mein dabae rakkha

ab teri zarurat bhi bahut kam hai meri jaan

watan ko kuchh nahin KHatra nizam-e-zar hai KHatre mein

baTe rahoge to apna yunhi bahega lahu

baaten to kuchh aisi hain ki KHud se bhi na ki jaen

dil par jo zaKHm hain wo dikhaen kisi ko kya

faiz aur faiz ka gham bhulne wala hai kahin

KHub aazadi-e-sahafat hai

wo dekhne mujhe aana to chahta hoga

aag hai phaili hui kali ghaTaon ki jagah

afsos tumhein car ke shishe ka hua hai

wahi haalat hain faqiron ke

baDe bane the jalib sahab piTe saDak ke bich

jiwan mujhse main jiwan se sharmata hun

kabhi to mehrban ho kar bula len

bahut raushan hai sham-e-gham hamari

dil walo kyun dil si daulat yun be-kar luTate ho

zarre hi sahi koh se Takra to gae hum

mir-o-ghaalib bane yagana bane

kaun batae kaun sujhae kaun se des sidhaar gae

kahin aah ban ke lab par tera nam aa na jae

usne jab hans ke namaskar kiya

daraKHt sukh gae ruk gae nadi nale

humne dil se tujhe sada mana

kam purana bahut naya tha firaq

us raunat se wo jite hain ki marna hi nahin

na Dagmagae kabhi hum wafa ke raste mein

ye jo shab ke aiwanon mein ek halchal ek hashr bapa hai

chur tha zaKHmon se dil zaKHmi jigar bhi ho gaya

yun wo zulmat se raha dast-o-gareban yaro

log giton ka nagar yaad aaya

ye soch kar na mail-e-fariyaad hum hue

ek shaKHs ba-zamir mera yar mushafi

jagne walo ta-ba-sahar KHamosh raho

sher hota hai ab mahinon mein

phir kabhi lauT kar na aaenge

tere mathe pe jab tak bal raha hai
