har ek shaKHs ko dushman agar banaoge
har ek shaḳhs ko dushman agar banāoge
mizāj pūchhne vaalā kahāñ se lāoge
jo sab ko apne hī me.aar par parakhte rahe
to zindagī meñ kise ham-safar banāoge
yahāñ to har koī chehre pe chehre rakhtā hai
uThā ke pahlū se kis ko kise biThāoge
tumheñ usuul tumhāre hī maar Dāleñge
na apne aap ko in se agar bachāoge
charāġh jalne lageñge tumhārī rāhoñ meñ
jo dūsroñ ke gharoñ meñ diye jalāo.ge
ye ahd tum se agar ho sake to kar lenā
hamāre ba.ad kisī kā na dil dikhāoge
nahīñ jhukoge agar ik ḳhudā ke aage tum
na jaane kitne daroñ par ye sar jhukāoge
vo tum se ruuTh ga.ī jo makāñ kī raunaq thī
ġharīb-ḳhāne ko ab kis liye sajāoge
supurd-e-ḳhāk to kar aa.e maañ ko tum 'at.har'
ġhamoñ kī dhuup meñ saaya kahāñ se pāoge
ye be-hisoñ kī hai bastī to phir 'shakīl' yahāñ
sadāqatoñ kā kise aa.ina dikhāoge
har ek shaKHs ko dushman agar banaoge
mizaj puchhne wala kahan se laoge
jo sab ko apne hi mear par parakhte rahe
to zindagi mein kise ham-safar banaoge
yahan to har koi chehre pe chehre rakhta hai
uTha ke pahlu se kis ko kise biThaoge
tumhein usul tumhaare hi mar Dalenge
na apne aap ko in se agar bachaoge
charagh jalne lagenge tumhaari rahon mein
jo dusron ke gharon mein diye jalaoge
ye ahd tum se agar ho sake to kar lena
hamare baad kisi ka na dil dikhaoge
nahin jhukoge agar ek KHuda ke aage tum
na jaane kitne daron par ye sar jhukaoge
wo tum se ruTh gai jo makan ki raunaq thi
gharib-KHane ko ab kis liye sajaoge
supurd-e-KHak to kar aae man ko tum 'athar'
ghamon ki dhup mein saya kahan se paoge
ye be-hison ki hai basti to phir 'shakil' yahan
sadaqaton ka kise aaina dikhaoge
