Majrooh Sultanpuri
vo jis pe tumhen sham-e-sar-e-rah ka guman hai
vo shoala-e-avara hamari hi zaban hai
ab haath hamare hai inaan rakhsh-e-junun ki
ab sar pe hamare kulah-e-sang-e-butan hai
bas pher ke munh khaar qadam khinch rahe the
dekha to nihan qafila-e-ham-safaran hai
chubhte hi bani khar-sifat pa-e-khizan men
kya kiije bahut ham ko gham-e-lala-rukhan hai
kaam aae bahut log sar-e-maqtal-e-zulmat
ai raushni-e-kucha-e-dil-dar kahan hai
ai fasl-e-junun ham ko pae-shaghl-e-gareban
paivand hi kaafi hai agar jaama giran hai
‘majruh’ kahan se guhar-e-gandum-o-jau laaen
apni to girah men yahi chashm-e-nigaran hai
