sahraa se baar baar vatan kaun jaaegaa — Seemab Akbarabadi

dekhte rahte hain chhup-chhup ke muraqqaa teraa
kabhi aati hai havaa bhi to chhupaa lete hain

tujhe daanista mahfil mein jo dekhaa ho to mujrim huun
nazar aakhir nazar hai be-iraada uTh gai hogi

manzil mili muraad mili muddaaa milaa
sab kuchh mujhe milaa jo tiraa naqsh-e-paa milaa

khudaa aur naakhudaa mil kar Dubo dein ye to mumkin hai
meri vajh-e-tabaahi sirf tufaan ho nahin saktaa

dekhte hi dekhte duniyaa se main uTh jaaungaa
dekhti ki dekhti rah jaaegi duniyaa mujhe

chamak jugnu ki barq-e-be-amaan maalum hoti hai
qafas mein rah ke qadr-e-aashiyaan maalum hoti hai

jism-e-aazaadi mein phunki tu ne majburi ki ruuh
khair jo chaahaa kiyaa ab ye bataa ham kyaa karein

royaa thaa kaun kaun mujhe kuchh khabar nahin
main us ghaDi vatan se kai miil duur thaa

kin manzilon luTe hain mohabbat ke qaafile
insaan zamin pe aaj gharib-ul-vatan saa hai

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

aazaadiyon ke shauq o havas ne hamein 'adil'
ik ajnabi zamin kaa qaidi banaa diyaa

uDaati hai vo tegh chaadar lahu ki
shahidon ko khilat ataa ho rahaa hai
