the last samurai

gawah rahna
ye past-qamat karih chehron ghamand lahjon sisakti sargoshiyon ke hamil

mere qabile ke surma sab
najis akhadon mein apne laghar nahif jismon ko chatte hain

mere qabile ke falsafa-gar
ghaliz fasid rutubaton se bhari tapakti sarab sochon se kaam le kar ajib mantiq tarashte hain

ye falsafa-gar sada-o-ahang-o-harf-o-mani ko zakhm de kar lahu ka kachcha khurand danton se nochte hain
gawah rahna

ki shahr-e-be-faiz mein numu ka koi hawala bhi mo'atabar nain
lahu mein lithdi burida lashon ka gham uthate

udas chehron ghubar jismon se zindagi ka zara guzar nain
ki aise be-mehr aab-o-gil mein

bilakte lahjon uchat nindon adhure khwabon ke dukh uthae
fasil-e-shorish pe sans roke qadam jamae

ufuq ke mutawazi chalne walon mein ek tha wo
aur ek hi tha

jo past-o-baala ke sab manazir nazar mein rakkhe
ghutan bhare habs mausamon ki siyah sazish se

shahr-e-be-faiz ko bachane nikal pada tha
qabile walo gawah rahna

abad se imkan-e-be-makani
shurua o aakhir se apni pahchan ki justuju ka wo ek waris

fasil-e-shorish ke khasta zine kharab gumbad
tabah minaron tute burjon ke is khandar mein

ufuq ke mutawazi chaar atraf chalne wale
azab tiron ko apne sine pe sahte sahte

nidhaal hijrat ki aakhiri had pe ja chuka hai
wo apne ajdad ki riwayat ka nam-lewa

bahut bulandi pe ja chuka hai
qabile walo gawah rahna
