Sach Ka Lamha Jab Bhi Nazil Hota Hai

Wali Alam Shaheen

sach ka lamha jab bhi nazil hota hai

kitni uljhan men apna dil hota hai

meri ḳhushi ka bhed hai bas ye sab ka dukh

mere apne dukh men shamil hota hai

ilm ki mere yaar sanad pahchan nahin

bahut paḌha likkha bhi jahil hota hai

sayyad-zade dil mango ya dad-e-hunar

saa.il to har haal men saa.il hota hai

biit ga.i jab umr to ye malum hua

ek ishara umr ka hasil hota hai

ek hansi lachari ko kuchh aur baḌha.e

ek hansi se dushman gha.il hota hai

ai mire dil ai achchhe dil ai ḳhana-ḳharab

tu kyuun har takrar men shamil hota hai

sah len ham duniya ke sitam ‘shahin’ magar

ziddi dil har aan muqabil hota hai
