Hum Mai-kade Se Mar Ke Bhi Bahar Na Jaenge

hum mai-kade se mar ke bhi bahar na jaenge

mai-kash hamari KHak ke saghar banaenge

wo ek kahenge hum se to hum sau sunaenge

munh aaenge hamare to ab munh ki khaenge

kuchh chaarasazi nalon ne ki hijr mein meri

kuchh ashk mere dil ki lagi ko bujhaenge

wo misl-e-ashk uTh nahin sakta zamin se

jis ko huzur apni nazar se giraenge

jhonke nasim-e-subh ke aa aa ke hijr mein

ek din charagh-e-hasti-e-ashiq bujhaenge

sahra ki gard hogi kafan mujh gharib ka

uTh kar bagule mera janaza uThaenge

ab Than li hai dil mein ki sar jae ya rahe

jaise uThega bar-e-mohabbat uThaenge

gardish ne meri charKH ka chakra diya dimagh

nalon se ab zamin ke tabaq thartharaenge

'bedam' wo KHush nahin hain to achchha yunhi sahi

na-KHush hi ho ke ghair mera kya banaenge
