Inqilab-E-Sahar-O-Sham Ki Kuchh Baat Karo

Arshad Siddiqui

inqilab-e-sahar-o-sham ki kuchh baat karo

dosto gardish-e-ayyam ki kuchh baat karo

jam-o-mina to kahin aur se le a.enge

mai-kasho saqi-e-gulfam ki kuchh baat karo

ghair ki sub.h-e-daraḳhshan ka tasavvur kab tak

apni kajla.i hui shaam ki kuchh baat karo

phir jalana mah-o-ḳhurshid ki mahfil men charagh

pahle apne hi dar-o-bam ki kuchh baat karo

kya ye TuuTe hue paimane liye baiThe ho

bada-nosho sitam-e-am ki kuchh baat karo

zikr-e-firdaus-o-iram kal pe uTha rakhte hain

aaj to ariz-e-asnam ki kuchh baat karo

main to ḳhair apni vafaon pe huun nazan lekin

vo jo tum par hai us ilzam ki kuchh baat karo

talḳhi-e-kam-o-dahan se kahin gham dhulte hain

zalimo talḳhi-e-ayyam ki kuchh baat karo

itna sannaTa ki ehsas ka dam ghuTta hai

sub.h ka zikr karo shaam ki kuchh baat karo

vahi ‘arshad’ ki jalata hai jo andhi men charagh

haan usi sha.ir-e-badnam ki kuchh baat karo
