be-sabaati zamaane ki naa-chaar — Mohammad Rafi Sauda

firaaq-e-khuld se gandum hai sina-chaak ab tak
ilaahi ho na vatan se koi gharib judaa

kis munh se phir tu aap ko kahtaa hai ishq-baaz
ai ru-siyaah tujh se to ye bhi na ho sakaa

'saudaa' se shakhs ke taiin aazurda kijiye
ai khud-parast haif nahin tu vafaa-parast

ishq se to nahin huun main vaaqif
dil ko shoala saa kuchh lipaTtaa hai

ve suratein ilaahi kis mulk bastiyaan hain
ab dekhne ko jin ke aankhein tarastiyaan hain

ammaame ko utaar ke paDhiyo namaaz shaikh
sajde se varna sar ko uThaayaa na jaaegaa

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

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad

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

pyaaso raho na dasht mein baarish ke muntazir
maaro zamin pe paanv ki paani nikal paDe

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

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