Sada-kar

sunne walon ko dhaDakti hui tanhai mein

kaun dar aata hai chupke se tamanna ban kar

kis ki aawaz hawaon ki subuk lahron par

raqs karti nazar aati hai tamasha ban kar

kaun lafzon ko ata karta hai taswir ka husn

kaun dil mein utar aata hai masiha ban kar

kis ki dhaDkan mein hai kirdaron ke dil ki dhaDkan

kaun ubhar aata hai mahtab ka haala ban kar

kitne zehnon ke ufuq kitne dilon ke aflak

tirgi mein bhi farozan hain ujala ban kar

kitne an-jaanon ki taskin-e-samaat ke liye

apni aawaz ke jadu se ye ras gholte hain

sarsaraate hue lamhon ki subuk-raftari

kah rahi hai ki ye tufanon mein par taulte hain

koi bhi rup ho bahrup badal kar ye log

pech-dar-pech fasanon ki girah kholte hain

wo shanshah ho ki daryuza-gar-e-rah-e-hayat

apne kirdar ke ausaf liye
