Ye Jo Sar Niche Kiye baiThe Hain

Jaleel Manikpuri

ye jo sar niche kiye baiThe hain

jaan kitnon ki liye baiThe hain

jaan ham sabza-e-ḳhat par de kar

zahr ke ghonT piye baiThe hain

dil ko ham DhunDte hain chaar taraf

aur yahan aap liye baiThe hain

va.izo chheḌo na rindon ko bahut

ye samajh lo ki piye baiThe hain

goshe anchal ke tire siine par

haa.e kya chiiz liye baiThe hain

dast-e-vahshat ko ḳhabar kar de koi

ham gareban siye baiThe hain

haa.e puchho na tasavvur ke maze

god men tum ko liye baiThe hain

aap ke naaz uThane vaale

jaan ko sabr kiye baiThe hain

bal jabin par hai ḳhuda ḳhair kare

aaj vo tegh liye baiThe hain

is tavaqqo pe ki len vo talvar

sar hatheli pe liye baiThe hain

jaan de denge tumhare dar par

ham ab uThne ke liye baiThe hain

zikr kya jam-o-subu ka ki ‘jalil’

ek mai-ḳhana piye baiThe hain
