Raat-Din Josh-E-Junun Se Kaam Hona Chahiye

Poet

rat-din josh-e-junun se kaam hona chahiye

ishq ki duniya men apna naam hona chahiye

miT na jaa.e is jahan se ishq ka nam-o-nishan

kuchh to pas-e-hasrat-e-nakam hona chahiye

gul-ruḳhon ki baat chhoḌo vo ḳhizan-dida hain phuul

fasl-e-gul ka zikr sub.h-o-sham hona chahiye

zindagi miTti hai miT jaa.e ada-e-farz men

farz ki takmil par anjam hona chahiye

chal diye sab dost aur ahbab tanha chhoḌ kar

ab to majburan ghariq-e-jam hona chahiye

charagar se ho nahin sakta gharibi ka ilaaj

ab gharibon hi ka qatl-e-am hona chahiye

ye bhi hai koi hukumat jis ki laThi us ki bhains

jante ho is ka jo anjam hona chahiye

azm-o-himmat ho to ban jaata hai ‘azam’ har koi

shart ye hai aadmi ḳhush-kam hona chahiye
