jaama-e-surkh tiraa dekh ke gul — Goya Faqir Mohammad

bijli chamki to abr royaa
yaad aa gai kyaa hansi kisi ki

har gaam pe hi saae se ik misraa-e-mauzun
gar chand qadam chaliye to kyaa khuub ghazal ho

aasmaan kahte hain jis ko vo zamin-e-sher hai
maah-e-nau misraa hai vasf-e-abru-e-khamdaar mein

vo tifl-e-nusairi aae shaayad
qasmein duun murtazaa-ali ki

khaar chubh kar jo TuTtaa hai kabhi
aabla phuuT phuuT rotaa hai

saare quraan se us pari-ru ko
yaad ik lafz-e-lan-taraani hai

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

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

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

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

sayyaad teraa ghar mujhe jannat sahi magar
jannat se bhi sivaa mujhe raahat chaman mein thi
