Parinde Ki Fariyaad

aata hai yaad mujh ko guzra hua zamana

wo bagh ki bahaaren wo sab ka chahchahana

aazadiyan kahan wo ab apne ghonsle ki

apni KHushi se aana apni KHushi se jaana

lagti hai choT dil par aata hai yaad jis dam

shabnam ke aansuon par kaliyon ka muskurana

wo pyari pyari surat wo kaamani si murat

aabaad jis ke dam se tha mera aashiyana

aati nahin sadaen us ki mere qafas mein

hoti meri rihai ai kash mere bas mein

kya bad-nasib hun main ghar ko taras raha hun

sathi to hain watan mein main qaid mein paDa hun

aai bahaar kaliyan phulon ki hans rahi hain

main is andhere ghar mein qismat ko ro raha hun

is qaid ka ilahi dukhDa kise sunaun

Dar hai yahin qafas mein main gham se mar na jaun

jab se chaman chhuTa hai ye haal ho gaya hai

dil gham ko kha raha hai gham dil ko kha raha hai

gana ise samajh kar KHush hon na sunne wale

dukhte hue dilon ki fariyaad ye sada hai

aazad mujh ko kar de o qaid karne wale

main be-zaban hun qaidi tu chhoD kar dua le!
