iKHtilaf

bayaz-e-zindagi mein amn ka waraq hi saf hai
ye aafiyat ka qasr hai aur qasr mein shigaf hai
zamin pe aasman nahin ye zulm ka ghilaf hai
hamein ye zulm mein ati faza se ikhtilaf hai


karishma-gar nigah se hamein koi gharaz nahin
bahana-saz aah se hamein koi gharaz nahin
numaishi karah se hamein koi gharaz nahin
hamein gali-sadi hui wafa se ikhtilaf hai


kahin hai intiha-pasand khu ki nagawar bu
kahin hai sard hastiyon pe kanpti rida-e-khu
kahin hawas mein kami kahin hawas mein ghulu
hamein to asr-e-haal ki hawa se ikhtilaf hai


wahan to fauj-e-misr hai yahan nahin koi asa
mukhalifat mein hosh rakh na is tarah se josh kha
baghaur dast-o-bazu-e-adu ko dekh le zara
hamein teri ghutti hui sada se ikhtilaf hai


shuur-e-din se jabr-e-narawa ki bag mod de
sukun-o-agahi se do dilon ka rabt jod de
salamti se panja-e-sitam ka zor tod de
hamein teri tuti hui asa se ikhtilaf hai
