Fitna Phir Aaj uThane Ko Hai Sar Lagta Hai

Anand Narayan Mulla

fitna phir aaj uThane ko hai sar lagta hai

ḳhuun hi ḳhuun mujhe rang-e-sahar lagta hai

ilm ki dev-qadi dekh ke Dar lagta hai

asmanon se ab insan ka sar lagta hai

mujh ko lagta hai nasheman ki mire ḳhair nahin

jab kisi shaḳh pe gulshan men tabar lagta hai

maan lo kaise ki main aib sarapa huun faqat

mere ahbab ka ye husn-e-nazar lagta hai

kal jise phunka tha ya kah ke ki dushman ka hai ghar

sochta huun to vo aaj apna hi ghar lagta hai

fan hai vo rog jo lagta nahin sab ko lekin

jis ko lagta hai use zindagi-bhar lagta hai

ehtiyatan koi dar phoḌ len divar men aur

shor baḌhta hua kuchh janib-e-dar lagta hai

ek darvaza hai har-samt nikalne ke liye

ho na ho ye to mujhe shaiḳh ka ghar lagta hai

chaman-e-sher men huun ik shajar-e-zinda magar

abhi ‘mulla’ miri Daali ye samar lagta hai
