Kisi Se Jab Na uTha to uTha Bar-E-Garan Humse

Poet

kisi se jab na uTha to uTha bar-e-garan ham se

mila sakte nahin ab aankh saton asman ham se

hansa kar ek do din umr bhar aḳhir rulata hai

ajab aTkheliyan karta hai daur-e-asman ham se

hamara jab ye hona bhi na hone ke barabar hai

tu aḳhir kyon ḳhafa baiThi hai marg-e-na-gahan ham se

abhi pesh-e-nazar ta.amir-e-farda ki hain tajvizen

hazaron gaam baazi le ga.i umr-e-ravan ham se

afakallah ai daur-e-falak ham muntazir hi the

ki kab ankhen churate hain hamare mehrban ham se

hai jab dushvar ik lahore hi ko chhoḌna ‘sa.ib’

to phir is haal men chhuTega kya hindostan ham se
