ai pari husn tiraa raunaq-e-hindustaan hai — Rind Lakhnavi

kaabe ko jaataa kis liye hindostaan se main
kis but mein shahr-e-hind ke shaan-e-khudaa na thi

ham jo kahte hain saraasar hai ghalat
sab bajaa aap jo farmaaiyegaa

kaafir huun na phunkun jo tire kaabe mein ai shaikh
naaqus baghal mein hai musallaa na samajhnaa

mai pilaa aisi ki saaqi na rahe hosh mujhe
ek saaghar se do aalam hon faraamosh mujhe

mai-kash huun vo ki puchhtaa huun uTh ke hashr mein
kyuun ji sharaab ki hain dukaanein yahaan kahin

maut aa jaae qaid mein sayyaad
aarzu ho agar rihaai ki

bil-aakhir thak haar ke yaaro ham ne bhi taslim kiyaa
apni zaat se ishq hai sachchaa baaqi sab afsaane hain

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

yaad aai hai to phir TuuT ke yaad aai hai
koi guzri hui manzil koi bhuli hui dost

baat karnaa pyaar ki aasaan se aasaan hai
ishq karnaa karte rahnaa hai kaThin se bhi kaThin

dekhe na mujhe kyunkar az-chashm-e-hiqaarat-u
vo sarv-e-javaan yaaro man-faakhta-e-piram

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh
