main ne jo zulm kabhi tujh se rava rakkha tha
aaj usi zulm ke phande men giraftar huun main
main ne jo tiir tire haath se chhina tha kabhi
aaj usi tiir ke ghaav se nigun-sar huun main
jis ki khatir tiri zillat bhi gavara thi mujhe
aaj usi ”paikar-e-ismat” ka khata-kar huun main
miri aankhon ne jise chand kaha tha kal tak
aaj usi shoala-e-parran se araq-bar huun main
tu na chahe bhi to afaq hansega mujh par
vaqt ke haath men tuuti hui talvar huun main
main ne chaha tha ki insan ki azmat ke liye
ek mazlum javani ko sahara de duun
ek thukrae hue pyaar ke sadme bantun
ek bhatke hue raahi ko ishara de duun
ek jhulse hue ehsas ko thandak bakhshun
aur kaunain ko phir zauq-e-nazara de duun
main ne ikhlas ke phulon se banae gajre
main ne ikhlas ke phulon se banae gajre
main ne ehsas ke jhulon men jhulaya us ko
main ne rondi hui rahon pe bichhai anhken
main ne paigham sitaron ka sunaya us ko
main ne aflas ke dariya ka tamavvuj pi kar
ik nai aas ke sahil pe lagaya us ko
aaj main soch raha huun shab-e-tanhai men
kis qadar talkh javani ki luti yaden hain
dekh is daur men aivan-e-mohabbat ke liye
kaisi kaisi gham-o-andoh ki buniyaden hain
kal tire dida-e-hairan se lahu phuta tha
aaj mere lab-e-khamosh pe fariyaden hain
ye mohabbat ye vafaen ye muravvat ye khulus
in ko sarmae ne be-kar bana rakkha hai
husn aur husn ke har ek sanam-khane ko
zar-paraston ne jafakar bana rakkha hai
aa ki us daur ka meaar badalna hai hamen
jis ne har zehn ko bimar bana rakkha hai
aa ki us jins-e-giran-qadr ko bedar karen
jis ne ham sab ko kharidar bana rakkha hai
aa ki us fitna-e-zarposh ko uryan kar den
jis ne afaq ko bazar bana rakkha hai
