zar yafa na

mashrique mein asol deen ban jaate hain

maghrib mein magar masheen ban jaate hain

rahta nahi ek bhi hamare pale

wan ek ke teen teen ban jaate hain

ladkeean padh rahi hain anagreezi

dhonadli quaum ne falaah ki raah

rawish magharbi hai madanzar

waza mashrique ko jaante hain gunaah

ye daraama dikhaae ga kya seen

parda uthne ki muntazir hai nigaah

shaikh saahab bhi toh parde ke koi haami nahi

muft mein kolej ke ladke un se badzan ho gae

waz mein farma diya kal aap ne ye saaf saaf

paroh aakhir kis se ho jab mard hi zan ho gae

!eeh koi din ki baat hai ai mard hosh mand

ghairat na tujh mein ho gi na zan awat chaahe gi

aata hai ab wo door ki awlaad ke awaz

konsal ki mamabri ke liye wot chaahe gi

taaleem magharbi hai bahut jaraat aafrin

pahla sabaque hai baith ke kolej mein maar deenag

baste hain hind mein jo khareedaar hi faquat

aagha bhi le ke aate hain apne watan se heenag

mera ye haal lot ki to chaatta hoon mein

un ka ye hukm deekha! mire farsh par na reenag

kahne lage ki awnat hai bhada sa jaanor

achchhi hai gaae rakhti hai kya nok daar seenag

kuchh gham nahi jo hazrat waaiz hain tang dast

tahzeeb nau ke saamne sar apna kham karein

radd jahaad mein toh bahut kuchh likha gaya

tardeed haj mein koi rasaala raqam karein

!tahzeeb ke mareez ko goli se faaeda

daf maraz ke waaste pal pesh keejiye

the wo bhi din ki khadmat ustaad ke awaz

dil chaahta tha hadeeh dil pesh keejiye

badla zamaana aisa ki ladka pas az sabaque

!kahta hai maastar se ki bal pesh keejiye

intiha bhi us ki hai aakhir khareedin kab talak

chhatreean romaal maflar pairhan jaapaan se

apni ghaflat ki yahi haalat agar quayam rahi

aaein ge ghasaal kaabal se kafan jaapaan se

ham mashrique ke maskeenon ka dil maghrib mein ja atka hai

wan kanad sab balori hain yan ek puraana matka hai

us door mein sab mit jaaein ge haan! baaqui wo rah jaae ga

jo quayam apni raah pe hai aur paka apni hat ka hai

ai shaikh w barahman sunte ho! kya ahal baseerat kahte hain

gardoon ne kitni bulandi se un quomon ko de patka hai

yaa baaham pyar ke jalse the dastoor mohabbat quayam tha

yaa bahas mein urdoo handi hai yaa qurbaani yaa jhatka hai

asl shuhood w shaahid w mashhod ek hai

ghaalib ka quaul sach hai toh phir zikr ghair kya

kyoon ai janaab sheekha! suna aap ne bhi kuchh

kahte the kaabe waalon se kal ahal der kya

ham poochhte hain muslim aashique mizaaj se

!aalfat buton se hai toh barahman se beer kya

haathon se apne daaman duniyaa nikal gaya

rukhsat hua dilon se khayaal maaad bhi

quanon waqf ke liye ladte the shaikh ji

!pochho toh waqf ke liye hai jaaydaad bhi

wo mas boli iraada khodakshi ka jab kya mein ne

mahzab hai toh ai aaashqa! quadam baahar na dhar had se

na jaraat hai na khanjar hai toh quasd khodakshi kaisa

ye maana dard naakaami gaya tera guzar had se

kaha mein ne ki ai jan jahan kuchh naqd dalwa do

karaaye par mangaalon ga koi afghaan sarhad se

naadan the us quadar ki na jaani arab ki quadar

haasil hua yahi na bachche maar peet se

maghrib mein hai jahaaz bayaaban shatar ka naam

tarkon ne kaam kuchh na liya us faleet se

hindostan mein juzw hukoomat hain konaslin

aaghaaz hai hamare seeaasi kamaal ka

ham toh faqueer the hi hamaara toh kaam tha

seekhin saleequa ab amra bhi sawaal ka

mamabri ampeereel konsal ki kuchh mushkil nahi

wot toh mil jaaein ge peese bhi dalwaayin ge kya

meerza ghaalib khuda bakhshe baja farma gae

ham ne ye maanaaka dili mein rahein khaaein ge kya

daleel mehar w wafa us se badh ke kya hogi

na ho huzoor se ulfat toh ye sitam na sahin

misr hai halqua kameeti mein kuchh kahin ham bhi

magar raza kalaktar ko bhaanap lein toh kahin

sanad toh leejeeye ladkon ke kaam aae gi

wo meharbaan hain ab phir rahein rahein na rahein

zameen par toh nahi handeewan ko ja milti

magar jahan mein hain khaali samundaron ki tahin

misaal kashti be has mati farman hain

kaho toh basta saahil rahein kaho toh bahin

farma rahe the shaikh tareeque amal pe waz

kafaar hind ke hain tajaarat mein sakht kosh

mashrak hain wo jo rakhte hain mashrak se leen deen

lekin hamaari quaum hai mahroom aql w hosh

naapaak cheez hoti hai kaafir ke haath ki

sun le agar hai gosh musalman ka haque neewash

ik baada kash bhi waz ki mahfil mein tha shareek

jis ke liye naseehat waaiz thi baar gosh

kahne laga sitam hai ki aise queewad ki

paaband ho tajaarat saamaan khorad w nosh

mein ne kaha ki aap ko mushkil nahi koi

hindostan mein hain kalma go bhi mai farosh

dekhe chalti hai mashrique ki tajaarat kab tak

sheesha din ke awaz jaam w suboo leta hai

hai madaawaaye junoon nashtar taaleem jadeed

mera sarjan rag millat se lahoo leta hai

gaae ik roz hui awnat se yoon garm sukhan

nahi ik haal pe duniyaa mein kisi shay ko quaraar

mein toh bad naam hui tod ke rasi apni

santi hoon aap ne bhi todke rakh di hai mahaar

hind mein aap toh az roo siyaasat hain aham

reel chalne se magar dasht arab mein beekaar

kal talak aap ko tha gaae ki mahfil se hazar

thi latakte hue honton pe sada zinhaar

aaj ye kya hai ki ham par hai inaayat itni

na raha aaynah dil mein wo dereena ghubaar

jab ye taqureer suni awnat ne sharma ke kaha

hai tire chaahne waalon mein hamaara bhi shumaar

rashk sad ghamziya ashtar hai tiri ek kaleel

ham toh hain aisi kaleelon ke puraane beemaar

tire hangaamon ki taaseer ye phaili ban mein

be zabaanon mein bhi paida hai mazaaque guftaar

ek hi ban mein hai muddat se baseera apna

garche kuchh paas nahi chaara bhi khaate hain adhaar

gosafnad w shatar w gaaw w palang w khar lanag

ek hi rang mein rangin hoon toh hai apna waquar

baaghban ho sabaque aamoz jo yakrangi ka

hamazban ho ke rahein kyoon na teewar gulzaar

de wahi jaam hamein bhi ki munaasib hai yahi

toh bhi sarshaar ho tere rafqua bhi sarshaar

dalaque haafaz bachcha arzad b meesh rangin kin

waanaghash mast w kharaab az rah bazaar beeaar

raat machhar ne kah diya mujh se

maajra apni naatmaami ka

mujh ko dete hain ek boond lahoo

sila shab bhar ki tishna kaami ka

aur ye basoh daar be zahmat

pi gaya sab lahoo asaami ka

ye aaeeh nau jeel se naazil hui mujh par

geeta mein hai quraaan toh quraaan mein geeta

kya khoob hui aashti shaikh w barahman

us jang mein aakhir na ye haara na wo jeeta

mandir se toh bezaar tha pahle hi se badri

masjid se nikalta nahi zadi hai maseeta

jaan jaae haath se jaae na sat

hai yahi ik baat har mazhab ka tat

chate bate ek hi theeli ke hain

saaho kaari basoh daari saltanat

mehnat w sarmaaya duniyaa mein saf aara ho gae

dekhe hota hai kis kis ki tamnaayon ka khoon

hikmat w tadbeer se ye fitna aashob khez

tal nahi sakta waqad kantam b tastajlon

khul gae yaajoj aur maajoj ke lashkar tamaam

chashm muslim dekh le tafseer harf yanaslon

shaam ki sarhad se rukhsat hai wo rind lam yazal

rakh ke meekhaane ke saare quade baalaaye taaque

ye agar sach hai toh hai kis darja ibrat ka maquam

rang ik pal mein badal jaata hai ye neeli rwaaque

hazrat karzan ko ab fikr mudaawa hai zaroor

hukm bardaari ke made mein hai dard laaeetaaque

wafad handastan se karte hain saraagha khan talab

kya ye choran hai pe hazam falasteen w araaque

takraar thi mazaar w maalik mein ek roz

donon ye kah rahe the mira maal hai zamin

kahta tha wo kare jo zaraat asi ka khet

kahta tha ye ki aql thikaane tiri nahi

poochha zamin se mein ne ki hai kis ka maal toh

boli mujhe toh hai faquat us baat ka yaquin

maalik hai yaa mazaar shoreeda haal hai

jo zer aasman hai wo dharti ka maal hai

utha kar phenk do baahar gali mein

nai tahzeeb ke ande hain gande

alakshan mamabri konsal sadaarat

banaae khoob aazaadi ne phande

miyan najaar bhi chheele gae saath

nihaayat tez hain yorap ke rande

kaarkhaane ka hai maalik mardak naakarda kaar

aish ka putla hai mehnat hai use naasaazgaar

hukm haque hai lees lala nasaan ala maasai

khaae kyoon mazdor ki mehnat ka phal sarmaaya daar

suna hai mein ne kal ye guftugoo thi kaarkhaane mein

puraane jhonapdon mein hai thikaana dast kaaron ka

magar sarkaar ne kya khoob konsal haal banwaaeea

koi us shahar mein takiya na tha sarmaaya daaron ka

masjid toh bana di shab bhar mein iman ki haraarat waalon ne

man apna puraana paapi hai barson mein namaazi ban na saka

kya khoob ameer feesal ko sanosi ne paighaam diya

toh naam w nasab ka hajaazi hai par dil ka hajaazi ban na saka

tar aankhein toh ho jaati hain par kya lazzat us rone mein

jab khoon jigar ki aameezash se ashk peeaazi ban na saka

iqubaal bada apdeeshak hai man baaton mein moh leta hai

gaftaarka ye ghaazi toh bana kirdaar ka ghaazi ban na saka
