Zulf Zanjir-E-Pa Hui Jab Se

Poet

zulf zanjir-e-pa hui jab se

ham asir-e-ma.ash hain tab se

madrason ne bana diya naukar

umr saari ganva.i is Dhab se

peT ki aag kyon nahin bujhti

justuju kar rahe hain ham kab se

ham faqat maang kar hi jiite hain

kaash ghairat bhi maang len rab se

is ko daulat ne kya uThana hai

gir gaya jo haya ke markab se

ḳhatm-e-qur.an hai nekiyon ke liye

ham ko matlab nahin hai matlab se

shaiḳh-o-sufi uTha ke chang-o-rubab

dekh laḌne chale hain marhab se

tirgi men jala ke diip na.e

dushmani le rahe hain ham sab se

tum ujalon ki baat mat karna

tirgi shah ke saath hai ab se

chhoḌ ‘naqqash’ harf-e-sachcha.i

log ḳha.if hain tere maz.hab se
