Daranti

chamak rahe hain daranti ke tez dandane

KHamida hal ki ye alhaD jawan nur-e-nazar

sunahri fasl mein jis waqt ghota-zan hogi

to ek git chhiDega musalsal aur daraaz

'nadim' azal se hai taKHliq ka yahi andaz

sitare boe gae aaftab kaTe gae

hum aaftab zamir-e-jahan mein boen ge

to ek roz azim inqalab kaTenge

koi batae zamin ke ijara-daron ko

bula rahe hain jo guzri hui bahaaron ko

ki aaj bhi to usi shan-e-be-niyazi se

chamak rahe hain daranti ke tez dandane

sunahri fasl tak us ki chamak nahin mauquf

ki ab nizam-e-kohan bhi usi ki zad mein hai

KHamida hal ki ye alhaD jawan nur-e-nazar

jab is nizam mein lahra ke ghota-zan hogi

to ek git chhiDega musalsal aur daraaz

'nadim' azal se hai taKHliq ka yahi andaz

sitare boe gae aaftab kaTe gae
