aaj kal bhes mein leader ke hai shaitan samjha

aaj kal bhes meñ leader ke hai shaitāñ samjhā

magar is bhed ko hindū na musalmāñ samjhā

pairahan jism ke ham-rañg thā us ke itnā

koī malbūs use samjhā koī uryāñ samjhā

gar yahī qadr-e-suḳhan hai to suḳhan par la.anat

ek qavvāl ko tū shā.ir-e-daurāñ samjhā

ban ke mehmāñ jo gayā ho gayā juutā ġhā.eb

mezbānī ke na is raaz ko mehmāñ samjhā

jab hī us shoḳh ne pūchhā ki taḳhallus kyā hai

dekh kar shakl mirī mujh ko ġhazal-ḳhvāñ samjhā

baap thā us kā khaḌā dar pe magar ḳhair huī

ya.anī vo mujh ko gadā maiñ use darbāñ samjhā

us ke āñchal meñ ghusā thā koī jugnū 'hāshim'

aur maiñ us ko charāġh-e-tah-e-dāmāñ samjhā

aaj kal bhes mein leader ke hai shaitan samjha

magar is bhed ko hindu na musalman samjha

pairahan jism ke ham-rang tha us ke itna

koi malbus use samjha koi uryan samjha

gar yahi qadr-e-suKHan hai to suKHan par lanat

ek qawwal ko tu shair-e-dauran samjha

ban ke mehman jo gaya ho gaya juta ghaeb

mezbani ke na is raaz ko mehman samjha

jab hi us shoKH ne puchha ki taKHallus kya hai

dekh kar shakl meri mujh ko ghazal-KHwan samjha

bap tha us ka khaDa dar pe magar KHair hui

yani wo mujh ko gada main use darban samjha

us ke aanchal mein ghusa tha koi jugnu 'hashim'

aur main us ko charagh-e-tah-e-daman samjha
