gale lagaa ke kiyaa nazr-e-shoala-e-aatish — Anand Narayan Mulla

shama ik mom ke paikar ke sivaa kuchh bhi na thi
aag jab tan mein lagaai hai to jaan aai hai

ishq mein vo bhi ek vaqt hai jab
be-gunaahi gunaah hai pyaare

main faqat insaan huun hindu musalmaan kuchh nahin
mere dil ke dard mein tafriq-e-imaan kuchh nahin

kahne ko lafz do hain ummid aur hasrat
in mein nihaan magar ik duniyaa ki daastaan hai

us ik nazar ke bazm mein qisse bane hazaar
utnaa samajh sakaa jise jitnaa shuur thaa

nizaam-e-mai-kada saaqi badalne ki zarurat hai
hazaaron hain safein jin mein na mai aai na jaam aayaa

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

sabza o gul kahaan se aae hain
abr kyaa chiiz hai havaa kyaa hai

qaatil tiri gali bhi badaun se kam nahin
jis ke qadam qadam pe mazaar-e-shahid hai

kuchh phulon ki khaatir bhi kuchh phulon kaa
sab se achchhaa rang churaanaa paDtaa hai

na gul khile hain na un se mile na mai pi hai
ajiib rang mein ab ke bahaar guzri hai
