Sun Kar Main Jurm Chup Tha Gunahgar Ki Tarah

Poet

sun kar main jurm chup tha gunahgar ki tarah

luknat zaban men aa ga.i mai-ḳhvar ki tarah

vo kaisi sub.h thi ki tulu-e-sahar ke baad

suraj ka chehra lagta tha bimar ki tarah

haan us ki dastan bahut dil-ḳharash thi

ḳhamosh tha jo saya-e-divar ki tarah

rukne ka naam bhi nahin lete the vo kabhi

ahl-e-junun the vaqt ki raftar ki tarah

maqtal se tegh dar-o-rasan se salib se

mujh ko hai pyaar kucha-e-dildar ki tarah

ham tira-baḳht aap hi kahiye kahan se laa.en

shaukat jalal shaan vo sarkar ki tarah

uupar se dekhne men hain manind-e-koh ham

andar se ek ret ki divar ki tarah

ai rabb-e-zul-jalal amaan pa.un to kahun

ye umr kaT ga.i kisi nadar ki tarah
