Aurang Zeb
aa.ine se guzarne vaala tha
aks-e-hasti bikharne vaala tha
lafz tartib de raha tha main
sher mujh par utarne vaala tha
dost tasvir to para.i thi
main to bas rang bharne vaala tha
ham bhi kya us ke saath mar jaate
marne vaala to marne vaala tha
phir achanak badal gaya manzar
main jise naqsh karne vaala tha
phir mujhe samne se haTna paḌa
aa.ina mujh se Darne vaala tha
vo to naḳhun ne mehrbani ki
varna ye zaḳhm bharne vaala tha
phuul tha shaḳh ki hatheli par
aur hava men bikharne vaala tha
ab ki suraj tha ishtiha meri
main vahan paanv dharne vaala tha
tum ne dekha tha kitna sharminda
mujh pe tanqid karne vaala tha
tishnagi thi uruuj par apni
aur dariya utarne vaala tha
hadisa ain us jagah pe hua
main jahan se guzarne vaala tha
‘zeb’ ankhen na band karta agar
ḳhauf andar utarne vaala tha
