Majrooh Sultanpuri
aa nikal ke maidan men do-rukhi ke khane se
kaam chal nahin sakta ab kisi bahane se
ahd-e-inqalab aaya daur-e-aftab aaya
muntazir thiin ye ankhen jis ki ik zamane se
ab zamin gaegi hal ke saaz par naghme
vadiyon men nachenge har taraf tarane se
ahl-e-dil ugaenge khaak se mah o anjum
ab guhar subuk hoga jau ke ek daane se
manchale bunenge ab rang-o-bu ke pairahan
ab sanvar ke niklega husn kar-khane se
aam hoga ab hamdam sab pe faiz fitrat ka
bhar sakenge ab daman ham bhi is khazane se
main ki ek mehnat-kash main ki tirgi-dushman
subh-e-nau ibarat hai mere muskurane se
khud-kushi hi raas aai dekh bad-nasibon ko!
khud se bhi gurezan hain bhaag kar zamane se
ab junun pe vo saaat aa padi ki ai ‘majruh’
aaj zakhm-e-sar behtar dil pe chot khane se
