Afzal Allahabadi
luta raha huun main laal-o-gohar andhere men
talash karti hai kis ko nazar andhere men
vo jis ki raah men main ne diye jalae the
gaya vo shakhs mujhe chhod kar andhere men
charagh kaun utha le gaya mire ghar se
sisak rahe hain mire bam-o-dar andhere men
tha tirgi ke janaze pe ek hashr bapa
jo us ke aane se phaili khabar andhere men
koi hatheli pe phirta hai aftab liye
bhatak raha hai koi dar-ba-dar andhere men
men koh-e-nur huun nadan tujhe khabar bhi nahin
mujhe chhupane ki koshish na kar andhere men
musafiron ko vo rahen dikhaega ‘afzal’
charagh rakh do sar-e-rahguzar andhere men
