hai himaaqat 'rahim' shaadi bhi — Rauf Raheem

millat ki aabru ko milaataa hai khaak mein
leader hamaaraa kitnaa baDaa khaaksaar hai

nahin hai bahr mein be-vazn hai 'rahim' magar
hamaari shaairi sur mein hai aur taal mein hai

milegi seat election mein aap ko ik din
agar ye chamcha-gari kaamyaab ho jaae

hai bajaT ghaaTe mein jurmaane zaruri hain yahaan
is liye sarkaar meri luuT kar khaane ko hai

qaail hain zaaiqe ke gharaz kyaa hai rang se
dastar pe dekhte hi nahin ham mutton kaa rang

nurse ko dekh ke aa jaati hai munh pe raunaq
vo samajhte hain ki bimaar kaa haal achchhaa hai

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

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

ghulaami mein na kaam aati hain shamshirein na tadbirein
jo ho zauq-e-yaqin paidaa to kaT jaati hain zanjirein

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

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