Khari Baaten Ba-Andaz-E-suKHan Kah Dun to Kya Hoga

Shaad Aarfi

khari baten ba-andaz-e-suḳhan kah duun to kya hoga

adu-e-jan-o-tan ko jan-e-man kah duun to kya hoga

nigahban-e-vatan ko rahzan kah duun to kya hoga

kisi bhi bad-chalan ko bad-chalan kah duun to kya hoga

gharibi jin ke latte le ga.i ta-hadd-e-uryani

jo main un ismaton ko sim-tan kah duun to kya hoga

andhere ko andhere hi kahenge dekhne vaale

savad-e-sham ko sub.h-e-vatan kah duun to kya hoga

ghalat baton pe duniya kab tavajjoh sarf karti hai

buton ko be-zaban o be-dahan kah duun to kya hoga

kahin fitrat badal sakti hai namon ke badalne se

janab-e-shaiḳh ko main barhaman kah duun to kya hoga

qad o gesu ko tum shamshad o sumbul kah ke kya loge

qad o gesu ko main dar-o-rasan kah duun to kya hoga

sitare toḌti hai jab ki zarron ki tavana.i

sitaron ko tumhari anjuman kah duun to kya hoga

sadarat ke fara.ez jab ada hone nahin paate

agar main tum ko sadr-e-anjuman kah duun to kya hoga

vo but ai ‘shad’ jab ghazlon men dilchaspi nahin leta

main us ki shaan men koi bhajan kah duun to kya hoga
