yun wo zulmat se raha dast-o-gareban yaro
Interesting Fact
Dedicated to Sahir
yuuñ vo zulmat se rahā dast-o-garebāñ yaaro
us se larzāñ the bahut shab ke nigahbāñ yaaro
us ne har-gām diyā hausla-e-tāza hameñ
vo na ik pal bhī rahā ham se gurezāñ yaaro
us ne maanī na kabhī tīrgī-e-shab se shikast
dil añdheroñ meñ rahā us kā farozāñ yaaro
us ko har haal meñ jiine kī adā aatī thī
vo na hālāt se hotā thā pareshāñ yaaro
us ne bātil se na tā-zīst kiyā samjhauta
dahr meñ us sā kahāñ sāhab-e-īmāñ yaaro
us ko thī kashmakash-e-dair-o-haram se nafrat
us sā hindū na koī us sā musalmāñ yaaro
us ne sultānī-e-jamhūr ke naġhme likkhe
ruuh shāhoñ kī rahī us se pareshāñ yaaro
apne ash.ār kī sham.oñ se ujālā kar ke
kar gayā shab kā safar kitnā vo āsāñ yaaro
us ke gītoñ se zamāne ko sañvāreñ yaaro
rūh-e-'sāhir' ko agar karnā hai shādāñ yaaro
yun wo zulmat se raha dast-o-gareban yaro
us se larzan the bahut shab ke nigahban yaro
us ne har-gam diya hausla-e-taza hamein
wo na ek pal bhi raha hum se gurezan yaro
us ne mani na kabhi tirgi-e-shab se shikast
dil andheron mein raha us ka farozan yaro
us ko har haal mein jine ki ada aati thi
wo na haalat se hota tha pareshan yaro
us ne baatil se na ta-zist kiya samjhauta
dahr mein us sa kahan sahab-e-iman yaro
us ko thi kashmakash-e-dair-o-haram se nafrat
us sa hindu na koi us sa musalman yaro
us ne sultani-e-jamhur ke naghme likkhe
ruh shahon ki rahi us se pareshan yaro
apne ashaar ki shamon se ujala kar ke
kar gaya shab ka safar kitna wo aasan yaro
us ke giton se zamane ko sanwaren yaro
ruh-e-'sahir' ko agar karna hai shadan yaro
