Hausla De De Ke Uncha Mera Sar Usne Kiya

Poet

hausla de de ke uncha mera sar us ne kiya

zulm ke aage mujhe sina-sipar us ne kiya

pyaar se sab dushmanon ke dil men ghar us ne kiya

dosti ka ma.arka is tarah sar us ne kiya

jin ko piine ka saliqa tha na jiine ka shu.ur

band un logon pe maiḳhane ka dar us ne kiya

pahle to divar uTha.i shahr ke charon taraf

phir usi divar men ik roz dar us ne kiya

pahle apna gham tha par us ka tha ab duniya ka hai

dhire dhire ek paude ko shajar us ne kiya

kaun si shai thi jo is dharti ke daman men na thi

phir na jaane kyuun ḳhalaon ka safar us ne kiya

jo ‘ḳhalish’ vaqif na the sher-o-suḳhan ke naam se

aam un logon pe ‘ghalib’ ka hunar us ne kiya
