Un Ko Roz Ek Taza Hila Ek KHanjar Chahiye

Waheed Akhtar

un ko roz ik taaza hiila ek ḳhanjar chahiye

ham ko roz ik jaan na.i aur ik naya sar chahiye

iltifat o sargirani par ḳhushi kya ranj kya

kuchh bahana is se baḌh kar dida-e-tar chahiye

kya dikha.en ḳhushk lab do buund ke saaqi hain sab

pyaas sahra-e-azal us ko samundar chahiye

sach ki ik nannhi si konpal ko kuchalne ke liye

jhuuT aur dushnam ke lashkar ke lashkar chahiye

sabr ka daman-e-daulat hai amiron ka amiir

jabr ki daryuzgi ko sainkaḌon dar chahiye

but banane pujne phir toḌne ke vaste

ḳhud-parasti ko naya har roz patthar chahiye

ham ne jis duniya ko Thukraya tha un ke vaste

mil ga.e vo to usi duniya ka chakkar chahiye
