Arzoo Lakhnavi
dekhen mahshar men un se kya Thahre
the vahi but vahi ḳhuda Thahre
Thahre us dar pe yuun to kya Thahre
ban ke zanjir-e-be-sada Thahre
saans Thahre to dam zara Thahre
tez andhi men sham.a kya Thahre
zindagani hai ik nafas ka shumar
be-hava ye charagh kya Thahre
jis ko tum la-dava batate the
tumhin us dard ki dava Thahre
ishq ka jurm sahl kaam nahin
ki har ik la.eq-e-saza Thahre
bim-o-ummid ki kashakash men
ik do-rahe pe jaise aa Thahre
roti ankhen jhalak na dekh sakin
bahte zaḳhmon pe kya dava Thahre
‘arzu’ vo hamen nasib kahan
kaan tak ja ke jo sada Thahre
