khaar ko to zabaan-e-gul bakhshi — Habib Tanvir

main nahin jaa paaungaa yaaro su-e-gulzaar abhi
dekhni hai aab-ju-e-zist ki raftaar abhi

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

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

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

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

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

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