Dasht-E-Wahshat Ko Phir Aabaad Karunga Ek Din

Shahid Kamal

dasht-e-vahshat ko phir abad karunga ik din

tu na hoga to tujhe yaad karunga ik din

apne hathon se giraftar karunga ḳhud ko

ḳhud ko main ḳhud se phir azad karunga ik din

aa.ine se main karunga tiri timsal kashid

phir tire aks ko ham-zad karunga ik din

mera dushman kaf-e-afsos malega janan

ḳhud ko is tarah se barbad karunga ik din

main ye sunta huun ki ye kar-e-mohabbat hai savab

main bhi is kaam men imdad karunga ik din

apni har baat pe tanqid karunga ḳhud hi

apne hi aap pe irad karunga ik din

bhuul kar bhi na bhula pa.egi duniya mujh ko

dekhna vo suḳhan ijad karunga ik din

daad ḳhud denge har ik sher pe ‘ghalib’ mujh ko

‘mir’-sahib ko bhi ustad karunga ik din
