uDe Nahin Hain uDae Hue Parinde Hain

Baqi Ahmad Puri

uḌe nahin hain uḌaa.e hue parinde hain

hamen na chheḌ sata.e hue parinde hain

qafas men qaid karo ya hamare par kaaTo

tumhare jaal men aa.e hue parinde hain

hava chalegi to bachche uḌa.enge un ko

ye kaghazon se bana.e hue parinde hain

jame hue hain ye shaḳhon pe is tarah jaise

shajar ke saath ugaa.e hue parinde hain

falak pe jin ko sitare samajh rahe hain log

vo chandni men naha.e hue parinde hain

bulandiyan hain hamare mizaj men shamil

bulandiyon se gira.e hue parinde hain

hamare paas hi a.enge lauT kar ‘baqi’

hamare jitne sadha.e hue parinde hain
