Karenge Qasd Hum Jis dam Tumhaare Ghar Mein Aawenge

Bahadur Shah Zafar

karenge qasd ham jis dam tumhare ghar men avenge

jo hogi umr bhar ki raah to dam bhar men avenge

agar hathon se us shirin-ada ke zabh honge ham

to sharbat ke se ghunt ab-e-dam-e-khanjar men avenge

yahi gar josh-e-girya hai to bah kar saath ashkon ke

hazaron para-e-dil mere chashm-e-tar men avenge

gar is qaid-e-bala se ab ki chhutenge to phir hargiz

na ham dam-e-fareb-e-shokh-e-gharat-gar men avenge

na jaate garche mar jaate jo ham malum kar jaate

ki itna tang ja kar kucha-e-dilbar men avenge

gareban-chak lakhon haath se us mehr-e-talat ke

ba-rang-e-subh-e-mahshar arsa-e-mahshar men avenge

jo sargardani apni tere divane dikhaenge

to phir kya kya bagule dasht ke chakkar men avenge

‘zafar’ apna karishma gar dikhaya chashm-e-saqi ne

tamashe jam-e-jam ke sab nazar saghar men avenge
