MuKhaalifon Ke Jilau Mein Wo Aaj Shamil Tha

muKHalifon ke jilau mein wo aaj shamil tha

wafa-parast ruton ka jo shaKHs hasil tha

wo meri zat ki pahchan bhi taaruf bhi

mere lahu mein ba-rang-e-hayat shamil tha

hasin raat thi hathon mein hath the hum the

kanar-e-ab KHamoshi thi mah-e-kaamil tha

taghayyuraat-e-zamana bhi kya ajab shai hain

jo jaan-nisar tha pahle wo aaj qatil tha

mujhe bhi faqr ki daulat pe faKHr tha yaro

use bhi lal-o-guhar ka ghurur hasil tha

bahut hi sada tabiat tha un dinon 'arshad'

ki jab wo mehr-o-KHulus-o-wafa ka qail tha
