charagh dosh-e-hawa pe raushan khaDe hue the

charagh dosh-e-hawa pe raushan khade hue the
kamal ye hai qaza ke sar par chadhe hue the
falak ke daman pe jo sitare chamak rahe hain
hamari chaukhat pe sar-ba-sajda pade hue the


nae shajar khilkhila rahe the khizan ki rut mein
qadimi pedon ke taza patte jhade hue the
kisi ki ghurbat ka nur rukh se chhalak raha tha
kisi ki baali mein hire moti jade hue the


wahan pe sabr-o-raza ne kheme lagae apne
jahan pe zulm-o-sitam ke parcham gade hue the
hamare zakhmon se makkhiyon ne maze uthae
kuchh 'ahd-e-mazi ke ghaw ab tak sade hue the


muhajiron ko pata hai apne watan ki qimat
ye wo parinde hain jo yahan par bade hue the
usi ne pahla qadam baghawat ki samt rakkha
wo jis ki ulfat ke tir dil mein gade hue the


ajal se milne ki aarzu mein janab-e-'mehwar'
sharab-khane mein zindagi se lade hue the
