Sardar Saleem
baḌh rahe hain shaam ke mauhum saa.e chal paḌo
zindagi ki laash kandhon par uTha.e chal paḌo
ḳhair-maqdam kar rahi hain Thokaren kis shaan se
paanv ke chhale ye kah kar muskura.e chal paḌo
oḌh lo sar par dukanon daftaron ke sa.eban
jan-leva hain makanon ke kira.e chal paḌo
phir qudum-e-shauq ko chhune lagi avargi
phir bulave kucha-e-janan se aa.e chal paḌo
aaj TuuTi hai lab-e-ehsas se mohar-e-sukut
aaj tanha.i ne talve gudguda.e chal paḌo
muḌ ke mat dekho zamane ko ki but ban jaoge
aankh miche haath bandhe sar jhuka.e chal paḌo
vaqt ke sahra men nange paanv Thahre ho ‘salim’
dhuup ki shiddat yakayak baḌh na jaa.e chal paḌo
