Ghayas Mateen
hava bahut tez chal rahi hai charagh-e-jan phir bhi jal raha hai
ye kaun hai jo hamare pichhe hava ke hamrah chal raha hai
guman ki basti men rahne vaalo zara pahaḌi pe chaḌh ke dekho
udhar nadi hai vahin se shahr-e-yaqin ka rasta nikal raha hai
sarab-andar-sarab tum ho charagh-andar-charagh ham hain
hamin se tarikiyan hain ḳha.if hamin se ḳhurshed jal raha hai
hamare bachche yahan rahenge to andhiyon men ghire rahenge
unhen yahan se nikalna hoga yahan ka manzar badal raha hai
purani qabron pe aaj kitne na.e makanon ki zindagi hai
jo aaj hai bas usi ko dekho vo bhuul jaao jo kal raha hai
kisi ne shane pe haath rakh kar jo naam puchha ‘matin’ apna
charagh ankhon men jal-bujhe hain vajud saara pighal raha hai
