kuchh muhatasibo.n kii Khilavat me.n kuchh vaa-iz ke ghar jaatii hai
Faiz Ahmed Faiz

kuchh muhatasibo.n kii Khilavat me.n kuchh vaa-iz ke ghar jaatii hai
ham baadaa-kasho.n ke hisse ko ab jaam me.n kam kam aatii hai

yuu.N arz-o-talab se kab ai dil patthar-dil paanii hote hai.n
tum laakh razaa kii Khuu Daalo kab Khuu-e-sitamagar jaatii hai

bedaad-garo.n kii bastii hai yaa.N daad kahaa.N fariyaad kahaa.N
sar phoratii phiratii hai naadaa.N fariyaad jo dar dar jaatii hai

haa.N jii ke zayaa.N kii ham ko bhii tashviish hai lekin kyaa kiijiye
har raah jo udhar ko jaatii hai maqtal se guzar kar jaatii hai

ab kuuchaa-e-dilabar kaa rah-rau rahazan bhii bane to baat bane
pahare se uduu Talate hii nahii.n aur raat baraabar jaatii hai

ham ahal-e-qafas tanhaa bhii nahii.n har roz nasiim-e-subah-e-vatan
yaado.n se muattar aatii hai ashko.n se munavvar jaatii hai
