khanakti miTTi mein raushni ki

khanakti mitti mein raushni ki
milawaton se bani hui ho
kiran ho ya'ni safed shaffaf nur se tum
jani hui ho


ye rang-o-ra'nai aur mohabbat tere liye hai
tamam phulon ki ye 'aqidat tere liye hai
suna hai tere janam pe janmi gai thi khushbu
gulon ko tere janam pe tohfa diya gaya tha


sitare tere siyah baalon ke waste hain
suna hai ye chand tere mathe pe ek tika laga hua tha
tujhe bana ke khuda-e-rabb-e-jamal kitna hi khush hua tha
har ek farishta kamal-e-hairat se tere chehre ko dekhta tha


suna hai jharne tumhaari aawaz ke ta'aqub mein phutte hain
suna hai dariya tumhaare pairon ko chhu ke mithe bane hue hain
main sun raha hun main sochta hun ki tu bhi kya hai
kisi ki minnat hai ya du'a hai


guzishta ikkis sal tum ne kahan bitae
wo kaun duniya thi jo tumhaare hasin qadmon ka lams le ke mahak rahi thi
wo koi bhi the magar bala ke nasib wale the
main sochta hun ki aane wale janam pe agle baras na jaane


ye husn tera kahan khulega
wo kaun khush-bakht shakhs hoga
tujhe kahega
janam mubarak


wo jo bhi hoga khuda salamat rakhe sabhi ko
hum aise andhe faqir lamhon mein ji rahe hain
aur is ghadi tum faqat hamari ho husn-zadi
hum aise lamhon mein sadiyan jine ke fan mein mahir


tumhein tumhaare janam ke din par hasin ghadiyon mein kah rahe hain
hamari aankhon ko dad-e-didar dene wali hasin dewi
tumhein mohabbat ke is jazire pe aane wali ghadi mubarak
jo tum ko dekhen jo tum ko chahen jo tum ko sochen


unhen ye do din ki zindagani badi mubarak
