Ibrat Bahraichi
khyaal-e-bad se hama-vaqt ijtinaab karo
fazaa-e-shahr ko daanista mat kharaab karo
jahaan mein aae ho do din ki zindagi le kar
har ik mahaaz pe tum us ko kaamyaab karo

chaahe sahraa mein chaahe ghar rahnaa
zindagi se qarib-tar rahnaa
jis ke ghar jaanaa mehmaan ban kar
us ke ghar yaar mukhtasar rahnaa

dil se dil aaj tak milaa hi nahin
aadmi is pe sochtaa hi nahin
chehra chehra bahaal lagtaa hai
shahr mein jaise kuchh huaa hi nahin

sukun-parvar hai jazbaati nahin hai
miraa hamdam khuraafaati nahin hai
jo kartaa thaa charaaghaan sab ke ghar mein
usi ke ghar diyaa-baati nahin hai

tum saa gar raahbar nahin hotaa
koi bhi raah par nahin hotaa
raaste bhi fareb dete hain
jab koi ham-safar nahin hotaa

be-zamiron ke kabhi jhaanse mein main aataa nahin
mushkilon ki bhiiD se hargiz main ghabraataa nahin
mujh se ab apni zabaan se kuchh kahaa jaataa nahin
jurm kar ke bhi koi mujrim sazaa paataa nahin

mire hi dil ko apnaa ghar samajhnaa
use tum taaj se behtar samajhnaa
na karnaa khair-khvaahi tum kisi ki
jo behtar ho use behtar samajhnaa
