Abbas Dana
aql-o-danish ko zamane se chhupa rakkha hai
khud ko danista hi divana bana rakha hai
ghar ki viraniyan le jaae chura kar koi
isi ummid pe darvaza khula rakkha hai
ban gae unche mahal un ki ibadat gahen
naam daulat ka jahan sab ne khuda rakkha hai
qabil-e-rashk se vo dukhtar-e-muflis jis ne
tang-dasti men bhi izzat ko bacha rakkha hai
jis ke mahlon men charaghon ka na tha koi shumar
us ki turbat pe faqat ek diya rakkha hai
is se badh kar tiri yadon ki karun kya tazim
teri yadon men zamane ko bhula rakkha hai
surkh-ru ho gaiin tanhaiyan meri ‘dana’
us ne kandhe pe mire dast-e-hina rakkha hai
