Wo Kah to Gae Hain Ki Hum Aawenge Sahar Tak

Poet

vo kah to ga.e hain ki ham avenge sahar tak

ummid hai jiine ki kise char-pahar tak

zulmat-o-adam men na raha farq sar-e-mu

vo zulf-e-dota chhuTte hi pahonche hai kamar tak

hai rauzan-e-dar-dida-e-ḳhurshid-e-qayamat

vo jhankne aa.e the kuhan rauzan-e-dar tak

kuchh kah den isharon hi se vo munh se na bolen

vo mangen to ham jaan talak den unhen sar tak

‘tanvir’ suḳhan-fahm samajhte hain suḳhan ko

kuchh qadr hunar ki hai to hai ahl-e-hunar tak
