Sahir-ludhiyanwi Ke Liye

sahar tha jis ki baaton mein

naKHl-e-samar tha

jis ke hathon mein

jadu-bayan aisa

jo banjh zaminon se faslen uga gaya

wajud ki be-mani kitabon mein

hamein dars-e-ibrat de gaya

maut aur zist ke darmiyan

kitne fasle masdud kar gaya

tajrabaat ka bas apne pyalon mein ghol kar

shaKHon mein aansu khila gaya

le aaya wo saughat

jo zaKHm-e-dil ka mudawa bhi bani

qudrat ne us ko baKHshi

dayar-e-shauq ki rahbari

har lamha jis ne ki apni zat ki nigahbani

taraqqi-pasandon mein 'sahir'

ek nirala shair tha
