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

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

dushmanon ne jo dushmani ki hai

aur sab bhul gae harf-e-sadaqat likhna

sher se shairi se Darte hain

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

ab teri zarurat bhi bahut kam hai meri jaan

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

ye aur baat teri gali mein na aaen hum

kuchh log KHayalon se chale jaen to soen

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

phir dil se aa rahi hai sada us gali mein chal

jhuTi KHabren ghaDne wale jhuTe sher sunane wale

baTe rahoge to apna yunhi bahega lahu

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

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

aag hai phaili hui kali ghaTaon ki jagah

faiz aur faiz ka gham bhulne wala hai kahin

afsos tumhein car ke shishe ka hua hai

dil par jo zaKHm hain wo dikhaen kisi ko kya

wo dekhne mujhe aana to chahta hoga

KHub aazadi-e-sahafat hai

baDe bane the jalib sahab piTe saDak ke bich

wahi haalat hain faqiron ke

jiwan mujhse main jiwan se sharmata hun

bahut raushan hai sham-e-gham hamari

kabhi to mehrban ho kar bula len

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

kahin aah ban ke lab par tera nam aa na jae

kaun batae kaun sujhae kaun se des sidhaar gae

usne jab hans ke namaskar kiya

humne dil se tujhe sada mana

daraKHt sukh gae ruk gae nadi nale

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

us raunat se wo jite hain ki marna hi nahin

chur tha zaKHmon se dil zaKHmi jigar bhi ho gaya

kam purana bahut naya tha firaq

na Dagmagae kabhi hum wafa ke raste mein

log giton ka nagar yaad aaya

yun wo zulmat se raha dast-o-gareban yaro

ek shaKHs ba-zamir mera yar mushafi

tere mathe pe jab tak bal raha hai

sher hota hai ab mahinon mein

phir kabhi lauT kar na aaenge

gulshan ki faza dhuan dhuan hai

hum aawara ganw ganw basti basti phirne wale
