tere hote hue mahafil men jalaate hain chiraag - Ahmed Faraz

tere hote hue mahafil men jalaate hain chiraag

log kyaa saadaa hain suuraj ko dikhaate hain chiraag

apanii maharuumiyon pe sharmindaa hain

khud nahiin rakhate to auron ke bujhaate hain chiraag

bastiyaan chaand sitaaron pe basaane vaale

kurraa-e-arz bujhaate jaate hain chiraag

kyaa khabar hai un ko ke daaman bhii bhadak uthate hain

jo zamaane kii havaaon se bachaate hain chiraag

aisii taariikiiyaan aankhon men basii hain 'faraz'

raat to raat ham din ko jalaate hain chiraag
