Hum chaTanon Ki Tarah Sahil Pe Dhaale Jaenge

Bekal Utsahi

ham chaTanon ki tarah sahil pe Dhale ja.enge

phir hamen sailab ke dhare baha le ja.enge

aisi rut aa.i andhere ban ga.e mimbar ke but

gumbad-o-mehrab kya jugnu bacha le ja.enge

pahle sab ta.amir karva.enge kaghaz ke makan

phir hava ke ruḳh pe angare uchhale ja.enge

ham vafadaron men hain us ke magar mashkuk hain

ik na ik din us ki mahfil se nikale ja.enge

jang men le ja.enge sarhad pe sab tir-o-tafang

ham to apne saath miTTi ki dua le ja.enge

shahr ko tahzib ke jhonkon ne nanga kar diya

gaanv ke sar ka dupaTTa bhi uḌa le ja.enge

dastan-e-ishq ko ‘bekal’ na de giton ka ruup

dost hain bebak sab lahje chura le ja.enge
