ab kis kaa jashn manaate ho us des kaa jo taqsiim huaa - Ahmed Faraz

ab kis kaa jashn manaate ho us des kaa jo taqsiim huaa

ab kis ke giit sunaate ho us tan-man kaa jo do-niim huaa

us khvaab kaa jo rezaa rezaa un aankhon kii taqadiir huaa

us naam kaa jo tukadaa tukadaa galiyon men be-tauqiir huaa

us parcham kaa jis kii hurmat baazaaron men niilaam huii

us mittii kaa jis kii hurmat mansuub uduu ke naam huii

us jang ko jo tum haar chuke us rasm kaa jo jaarii bhii nahiin

us zakhm kaa jo siine pe na thaa us jaan kaa jo vaarii bhii nahiin

us khuun kaa jo badqismat thaa raahon men bahaayaa tan men rahaa

us phuul kaa jo beqiimat thaa aangan men khilaa yaa ban men rahaa

us mashriq kaa jis ko tum ne neze kii anii marham samajhaa

us magarib kaa jis ko tum ne jitana bhii luutaa kam samajhaa

un maasuumon kaa jin ke lahuu se tum ne farozaan raaten kiin

yaa un mazaluumon kaa jis se khanjar kii zubaan men baaten kiin

us mariyam kaa jis kii iffat lutatii hai bhare baazaaron men

us iisaa kaa jo qaatil hai aur shaamil hai gamkhvaaron men

in nauhaagaron kaa jin ne hamen khud qatl kiyaa khud rote hain

aise bhii kahiin damsaaz hue aise jallaad bhii hote hain

un bhuuke nange dhaanchon kaa jo raqs sar-e-baazaar karen

yaa un zaalim qazzaaqon kaa jo bhes badal kar vaar karen

yaa un jhuute iqaraaron kaa jo aaj talak aifaa na hue

yaa un bebas laachaaron kaa jo aur bhii dukh kaa nishaanaa hue

is shaahii kaa jo dast-ba-dast aaii hai tumhaare hisse men

kyon nang-e-vatan kii baat karo kyaa rakhaa hai is qisse men

aankhon men chhupaaye ashkon ko honthon men vafaa ke bol liye

is jashn men bhii shaamil huun nauhon se bharaa kashkol liye
