Hue Aaj Budhe Jawani Mein Kya The

hue aaj budhe javani men kya the

jab utthe the zaanu se haath ashna the

jahan ki to har chiiz men ik maza tha

na samjhe ki kis shai ke ham mubtala the

na kafir se khilat na zahid se ulfat

ham ik bazm men the pa sab se juda the

na tha mere jangal men azad koi

bagule bhi paband-e-zulf-e-hava the

mazar-e-gharib taassuf ki ja hai

vo sote hain phirte jo kal ja-ba-ja the

bana kar bigada hamen kyuun jahan men

ye sab harf kya sahv-e-kilk-e-qaza the

kiye akhiri naale do-char main ne

vahi naale bang-e-shikast-e-dara the

khuda jaane duniya men kis ko thi rahat

‘havas’ ham to jiine se apne khafa the
