kyaa kahun din ko kis qadar royaa — Maatam Fazl Mohammad

dariyaa mein vo dhoyaa thaa kabhi dast-e-hinaai
hasrat se vahin panja-e-marjaan mein lagi aag

dekh kar haath mein tasbih gale mein zunnaar
mujh se bezaar hue kaafir o din-daar judaa

agar samjho namaaz-e-zaahid-e-maghrur yaaro
hazaaron baar behtar-tar hamaari be-namaazi hai

ishq-e-khubaan nahin hai aisi shai
baandh kar rakhiye jis ko puDiyaa mein

umr do-chaar roz mehmaan hai
khidmat-e-mehmaan karun na karun

pujtaa huun kabhi but ko kabhi paDhtaa huun namaaz
meraa mazhab koi hindu na musalmaan samjhaa

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

na ho ehsaas to saaraa jahaan hai be-his-o-murda
gudaaz-e-dil ho to dukhti ragein milti hain patthar mein

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

barsaat kaa baadal to divaana hai kyaa jaane
kis raah se bachnaa hai kis chhat ko bhigonaa hai

badalte vaqt ne badle mizaaj bhi kaise
tiri adaa bhi gai meraa baankpan bhi gayaa
