chaman se rukhsat-e-gul hai na lauTne ke liye — Unknown

log kaanTon se bach ke chalte hain
main ne phulon se zakhm khaae hain

dil TuTne se thoDi si taklif to hui
lekin tamaam umr ko aaraam ho gayaa

duniyaa mein vahi shakhs hai taazim ke qaabil
jis shakhs ne haalaat kaa rukh moD diyaa ho

miri namaaz-e-janaaza paDhi hai ghairon ne
mare the jin ke liye vo rahe vazu karte

ye hamin hain ki tiraa dard chhupaa kar dil mein
kaam duniyaa ke ba-dastur kiye jaate hain

jin ke kirdaar se aati ho sadaaqat ki mahak
un ki tadris se patthar bhi pighal sakte hain

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

be-ilm shaairon kaa gila kyaa hai ai 'munir'
hai ahl-e-ilm ko tiraa tarz-e-bayaan pasand

gulaabon ke honTon pe lab rakh rahaa huun
use der tak sochnaa chaahtaa huun

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

ai sanam tu vo kanhayyaa hai balaaein luun agar
baansuli ki tarah naalaan hon saraapaa ungliyaan

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun
