muflison ka qaumi tarana

yahi meri khwab-gah-e-ishrat yahi hai mera nigar-khana
dhuen ki rangin badliyon mein paka rahi hai jahan wo khana
yahin andheron se mil ke hum chandni ke chhakke chhuda rahe hain
yahin hamara sila muqarrar hua hai adbar-e-jawedana


yahin use gili lakdiyon ne khushi ke aansu bahate dekha
yahin use rakh ki tahon ne bana diya ghair shairana
yahin meri sakht-jaan ghairat ye barha sun chuki hai ab tak
abe teri muflisi ke charche sune the main ne to ghaebana


yahin wo jaan-e-wafa meri aarzu ki ranginiyon ki khatir
chhidak ke baalon mein itr-e-andesha karti rahti hai in mein shana
agar nahusat ki jaan hai wo to banda iman-e-muflisi hai
isi liye ek dusre se hamein mohabbat hai walihana


ilahi teri inayaton ka ye ek adna sa hai karishma
hamare iflas-e-be-karan ka jo aaj hai mo'tarif zamana
wo us ka jade ki sard raaton mein mujh se indhan ki baat karna
ki jaise ye chiz mawarai ho ya alif-lailwi fasana


tawil faqon ke baad donon ka pich pi kar wo jhum uthna
wo us ki sharmili si nigahen wo mere jazbaat-e-ashiqana
khushi mein sari khudai mein half-day manaya gaya tha us din
wajud mein aa gaya tha jis din hamari ulfat ka shakhsana
