pighalte dekh ke suraj ki garmi — Jalib Nomani

khud apne aap se larzaan rahi ulajhti rahi
uThaa na baar-e-garaan raat ki javaani se

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad

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

kaho kyaa mehrbaan naa-mehrbaan taqdir hoti hai
kahaa maan ki duaaon mein baDi taasir hoti hai

ghulaami mein na kaam aati hain shamshirein na tadbirein
jo ho zauq-e-yaqin paidaa to kaT jaati hain zanjirein

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

aasmaan jhaank rahaa hai 'khaalid'
chaand kamre mein mire utraa hai
