barson gul-e-khurshid o gul-e-maah ko dekhaa — Khwaja Mohammad Wazir

yaar tanhaa ghar mein hai afsos lekin ham nahin
huur to hai gulshan-e-firdaus mein aadam nahin

phir vahi ham the vahi tum the mohabbat the vahi
sulh kar lete agar aankhein laDaane ke liye

yuun phir rahe hain jaise koi baat hi nahin
aaluda mere khuun se daamaan kiye hue

silsila rakhtaa hai meraa kufr kuchh islaam se
hain kai tasbih ke daane miri zunnaar mein

haath dikhlaa ke ye bolaa vo musalmaan-zaada
ho gayaa dast-e-nigar ab to barahman apnaa

sar miraa kaaT ke pachhtaaiyegaa
kis ki phir jhuTi qasam khaaiyegaa

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

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

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

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