Sher Se Shairi Se Darte Hain

sher se shairi se Darte hain

kam-nazar raushni se Darte hain

log Darte hain dushmani se teri

hum teri dosti se Darte hain

dahr mein aah-e-be-kasan ke siwa

aur hum kab kisi se Darte hain

hum ko ghairon se Dar nahin lagta

apne ahbab hi se Darte hain

dawar-e-hashr baKHsh de shayad

han magar maulwi se Darte hain

ruThta hai to ruTh jae jahan

un ki hum be-ruKHi se Darte hain

har qadam par hai mohtasib 'jalib'

ab to hum chandni se Darte hain
