Ali Sardar Jafri
khule hain mashriq-o-maghrib ki god men gulzar
magar khizan ko mayassar nahin yaqin-e-bahar
khabar nahin hai bamon ke banane valon ko
tamiz ho to mah-o-mehr-o-kahkashan hain shikar
usi se tegh-e-nigah ab-dar hoti hai
tujhe bataun badi shai hai jurat-e-inkar
kiye hain shauq ne paida hazar virane
ik aarzu ne basae hain laakh shahr-e-dayar
nashat-e-subh-e-baharan tujhe nasib nahin
tire nigah men hai biiti hui shabon ka khumar
farokht hoti hai insaniyat si jins-e-giran
jahan ko phunk na degi ye garmi-e-bazar
yahi hai zinat-o-araish urus-e-sukhan
magar fareb bhi deti hai shokhi-e-guftar
