Qanun-E-Qudrat

galiyon ki shamen bujh gaiin aur shahr suuna ho gaya

bijli ka khamba thaam kar banka sipahi so gaya

tarikiyon ki deviyan karne lagin sargoshiyan

ik dhimi dhimi taan men gaane lagin khamoshiyan

mashriq ke parbat se vare ubhrin ghataen yak-ba-yak

angdaiyan lene lagin be-khud havaen yak-ba-yak

taare nigalti badliyan charon taraf chhane lagin

chham-chham phuvaron ki jhadi dharti pe barsane lagin

kutte achanak chaunk kar bhonken dubak kar so gae

be-ras chachodi haddiyon ki lazzaton men kho gae

maaen lapakti hain kahin bachche bilakte hain kahin

aur khaat lene ke liye budhe uchakte hain kahin

ik sarsarahat si uthi lahrai tham kar rah gai

har chiiz ne ankhen malin har chiiz jam kar rah gai

phir gungunati zulmaton ka sehr har-su chha gaya

badal kahin gum hogae taron pe jauban aa gaya

qudarat ke sab chhote bade qanun hain yaksan magar

parde pade hain ja-ba-ja chhanti nahin jin se nazar

insan ka maasum dil tarik suuna shahr hai

jis ke tale ehsas ki chingariyon ki lahar hai

jab dekhta hai vo kahin badmast panghat valiyan

galon ko jin ke chumti hain patli patli baliyan

zulfen ghataon ki tarah ankhen sitaron ki tarah

chalna havaon ki tarah rangat shararon ki tarah

lahnge ki lahron ke tale makkhan se paanv raqs men

pagdandiyon ke us taraf gagar ki chhanv raqs men

siine chhalakte mai-kade aur hont paimanon ke lab

takhnon pe bajti jhanjhnen hansna-hansana be-sabab

ye dekh kar angdaiyan leta hai dil insan ka

aur us ki har dhadkan pe hota hai guman tufan ka

galiyon men chhup jaati hain jab ye chalti-phirti bijliyan

hota hai taari ruuh par sunsan raton ka saman
