MakDi Ke Jalon Mein Kab Se Qaid Hain Raushan-dan Mare

makDi ke jalon mein kab se qaid hain raushan-dan mere

hae kya sochenge ghar ko dekh ke kal mehman mere

ab ke baras to dil ki zamin par aag falak se barsi hai

fikr ki gandum ke danon se KHali hain khaliyan mere

meri zaban par maslahaton ke pahre hain to phir kya hai

haq ke alam-bardar hain ab bhi mazdur o dahqan mere

aaj hisar-e-dar-o-rasan mein hun par aane wala din

shahr ki diwaron par chaspan dekhega farman mere

shakl-o-shabahat mein be-shak kuchh farq zara sa tha warna

the to masiha bhi insan aur qatil bhi insan mere

bar-sar-e-am iqrar agar na-mumkin hai to yunhi sahi

kam-az-kam idrak to kar le gun be-shak mat man mere

kal 'kausar' mere aangan mein raqs-e-bahaaran tha lekin

aaj taraste hain kaghaz ke phulon ko gul-dan mere
