chiin o arab hamaaraa hindostaan hamaaraa — Majeed Lahori

jahaan rahti thi ''zoara-jaan'' kabhi
pir-saahib kaa aastaana huaa

murghiyaan kofte machhli bhune titar anDe
kis ke ghar jaaegaa sailaab-e-ghizaa mere baad

faatiha-khvaani mein ahbaab uDaaeinge polaav
aur kareinge miri bakhshish ki duaa mere baad

leaderi mein bhalaa huaa un kaa
bandagi mein miraa bhalaa na huaa

kal ye ik uunT se kahtaa thaa shuturbaan 'majid'
kaun hogaa tire ghamzon pe fidaa mere baad

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

diyaa diye kaa ise tum ne naam hai yaaro
vagarna ye to miri jhonpaDi kaa suraj hai

jin ajnabi khalaaon se vaaqif nahin koi
'muztar' unhin khalaaon kaa sayyaara ham hue

kuchh is liye bhi akelaa saa ho gayaa huun 'nadim'
sabhi ko dost banaayaa hai dushmani nahin ki

dil mubtalaa-e-hijr rifaaqat mein rah gayaa
lagtaa hai koi farq mohabbat mein rah gayaa

main sahraa jaa ke qabr-e-hazrat-e-majnun ko dekhaa thaa
ziyaarat karte the aahu bagula tauf kartaa thaa
