Har shaKHs Mein Kuchh Log Kami DhunD Rahe Hain

Dr Azam

har shaḳhs men kuchh log kami DhunD rahe hain

nadan hain musbat men nafi DhunD rahe hain

gul DhunD rahe hain na kali DhunD rahe hain

gulshan men bas ik shaḳh hari DhunD rahe hain

is yug men kahan ham bhi vali DhunD rahe hain

insan men sifat-e-bashari DhunD rahe hain

badal ki siyahi men kiran jaisi chamakti

har gham men chhipi ham bhi ḳhushi DhunD rahe hain

ik sher jo mauzun nahin kar paa.e hain ab tak

‘ghalib’ ki ghazal men bhi kami DhunD rahe hain

muddat se taqaza hai ki lauTa do mira dil

muddat se bahana hai abhi DhunD rahe hain

tahzib-o-tamaddun ko ḳhulus aur vafa ko

‘azam’ hi nahin aaj sabhi DhunD rahe hain
