toD Daalein ham nizaam-e-khastagi — Hanif Fauq

main ne apni palkon par gham-kade sajaae hain
aarzu ke maatam mein sogvaar hasti hai

main teri jumbish-e-mizhgaan se kaanp jaataa hon
agarche dil ko gham-e-do-jahaan se Dar bhi nahin

kitni naadida bahaaron ki tamannaa-e-javaan
daaman-e-jaan mein mire aag lagaa deti hai

ik janam ke pyaase bhi sair hon to ham jaanein
yuun to rahmat-e-yazdaan chaar-su barasti hai

udaas raaton ki tirgi mein na koi taaraa na koi jugnu
kisi kaa naqsh-e-qadam hi chamke to nuur kaa e'tibaar aae

vaqt ki laash pe rone ko jigar hai kis kaa
kis janaaze ko liye ahl-e-nazar aate hain
