ham hain tahzib ke alam-bardaar — Mohammad Ali Sahil

meri aankhon mein hue raushan jo ashkon ke charaagh
un ke honTon par tabassum kaa diyaa jaltaa rahaa

duur rahti hain sadaa un se balaaein saahil
apne maan baap ki jo roz duaa lete hain

khaamushi teri miri jaan liye leti hai
apni tasvir se baahar tujhe aanaa hogaa

masale to zindagi mein roz aate hain magar
zindagi ke masalon kaa hal nikalnaa chaahiye

marte dam tak sab mujh ko insaan kahein
aisaa hi kirdaar miraa ho yaa-allaah

meri nindein haraam kyaa hongi
ghar mein rizq-e-halaal aataa hai

jinhein ye fikr nahin sar rahe rahe na rahe
vo sach hi kahte hain jab bolne pe aate hain

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

ai shahr-e-sitam-zaad tiri umr baDi ho
kuchh aur bataa naql-e-makaani ke alaava

har fikr sirf jaagne vaale kaa hai nasib
jo so rahaa hai bas vahi banda maze mein hai

ye pahlaa ishq hai tumhaaraa soch lo
mire liye ye raastaa nayaa nahin

savaal karti kai aankhein muntazir hain yahaan
javaab aaj bhi ham soch kar nahin aae
