farq kyaa maqtal mein aur gulzaar mein — Parveen Umm

havaa mein jab uDaa parda to ik bijli si kaundi thi
khudaa jaane tumhaaraa partav-e-rukhsaar thaa kyaa thaa

kuchh to kami ho roz-e-jazaa ke azaab mein
ab se piyaa kareinge milaa kar gulaab mein

baal rukhsaaron se jab us ne haTaae to khulaa
do farangi sair ko nikle hain mulk-e-shaam se

agar lohe ke gumbad mein rakheinge aqrabaa un ko
vahin pahunchaaegaa aashiq kisi tadbir se kaaghaz

na aayaa kar ke vaada vasl kaa iqraar thaa kyaa thaa
kisi ke bas mein thaa majbur thaa laachaar thaa kyaa thaa

pi baada-e-ahmar to ye kahne lagaa gul-ru
main surkh huun tum surkh zamin surkh zamaan surkh

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

qaatil tiri gali bhi badaun se kam nahin
jis ke qadam qadam pe mazaar-e-shahid hai

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

sabza o gul kahaan se aae hain
abr kyaa chiiz hai havaa kyaa hai

kuchh phulon ki khaatir bhi kuchh phulon kaa
sab se achchhaa rang churaanaa paDtaa hai

saare jahaan se achchhaa hindostaan hamaaraa
ham bulbulein hain is ki ye gulsitaan hamaaraa
