Farhat Qadri
koi dhaḌkan koi uljhan koi bandhan mange
har-nafas apni kahani men naya-pan mange
dasht-e-afkar men ham se na.e mausam ka mizaj
bijliyan tinkon ki sho.alon ka nasheman mange
rat-bhar galiyon men yaḳh-basta havaon ki sada
kisi khiḌki ki sulagti hui chilman mange
zahr sannaTe ka kab tak piye sahra-e-sukut
ret ka zarra bhi avaz ki dhaḌkan mange
kaali raton ke jahannam men badan suukh gaya
daman-e-sub.h ki ThanDak koi birhan mange
habs vo hai ki nazaron ka bhi dam ghuTta hai
koi sondhi si mahak ab mira angan mange
zindagi jin ke tasadum se hai zaḳhmi ‘farhat’
dil unhin TuuTe hue sapnon ka darpan mange
