is dafa bachcha samajh kar chhoDe detaa huun tujhe — Mohammad Taha Khan

haae qismat january maangi to july mili
haal kaa taalib huaa maazi tamannaai mili

vahi hai ikhtilaaf-e-baahami ki anjuman ab to
faqat shaadi ke din us ne milaai haan mein haan meri

daur-e-jamhuri mein bangladesh jaanaa thaa tujhe
aksariyyat chhoD kar zaalim idhar paidaa huaa

jaan-e-izraail ab nakhron kaa tere gham karun
yaa main tujh par sura-e-yaasin paDh kar dam karun

sabab is kaa jo puchhaa doctor-saahab ne farmaayaa
bahut aage gae baaqi jo hain tayyaar baiThe hain

laDi is ThaaT se mankuha-e-kaafir-bayaan meri
farishte likhte likhte chhoD bhaage daastaan meri

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

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

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

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