purane jute
gardish-e-aflāk ke maare hue juute tamām
ik saḌak ke moḌ par rakkhe the bā-sad-ehtimām
un pe TuuTe paḌ rahe the muflisān-e-ḳhās-o-ām
maiñ ne bhī gardan baḌhā ke pūchhe un meñ ik ke daam
bolā muddat-bād in jūtoñ kā ab uTThā hai paal
aur in jūtoñ meñ har juutā hai aap apnī misāl
ek juutā un meñ thā jo tajraboñ kā shāhkār
aur kisī bhāge hue añgrez kī thī yādgār
bolā maiñ is des meñ chaltā rahā huuñ bār-bār
hindū aur muslim haiñ ab tak mere afsūñ kā shikār
painT vāloñ meñ abhī tak merī vaq.at hai vahī
qadar-e-gauhar-shāh dānad yā ba-dāna-jauhrī
un meñ ik tagḌā sā juutā ek D.s.p kā thā
umr bhar jo be-gunāhoñ ke saroñ par thā chalā
kitnī kitnī rishvateñ sāhab ko thā khilvā chukā
jism go be jaan thā lekin tale kā thā kaḌā
maiñ ne das aane lagā.e is pe bolā o-saḳhī
saat pushtoñ ne tirī pahnā thā ye juutā kabhī
saindil ik barmī paḌī thī us jagah msatānā-vār
is tarah rakkhī huī thī jaise pattoñ meñ anaar
ye kisī college kī laḌkī kī rahī thī ġham-gusār
naujavāñ ushshāq ke jazbe the us ke zer-e-bār
bolā meñ ye aap kī Thokar meñ haiñ kyā ḳhāl-ḳhāl
bolī ye haiñ naujavāñ ushshāq kī chañdiyā ke baal
shaiḳh ghesū karke ik mochī se pahle sāz-bāz
umr meñ pahle-pahal masjid ga.e paḌhne namāz
darmiyāñ meñ toḌ kar ye apnī nīyat hīlā-sāz
jhaaḌ laa.e ek chappal jo thī be-had dil-navāz
ye javāñ chappal thī apne haal par vaañ nauha-ḳhvāñ
aur miyāñ ghesū kī thī īmān kī ratb-ul-lisāñ
gardish-e-aflak ke mare hue jute tamam
ek saDak ke moD par rakkhe the ba-sad-ehtimam
un pe TuTe paD rahe the muflisan-e-KHas-o-am
main ne bhi gardan baDha ke puchhe un mein ek ke dam
bola muddat-baad in juton ka ab uTTha hai pal
aur in juton mein har juta hai aap apni misal
ek juta un mein tha jo tajrabon ka shahkar
aur kisi bhage hue angrez ki thi yaadgar
bola main is des mein chalta raha hun bar-bar
hindu aur muslim hain ab tak mere afsun ka shikar
painT walon mein abhi tak meri waqat hai wahi
qadar-e-gauhar-shah danad ya ba-dana-jauhri
un mein ek tagDa sa juta ek Dsp ka tha
umr bhar jo be-gunahon ke saron par tha chala
kitni kitni rishwaten sahab ko tha khilwa chuka
jism go be jaan tha lekin tale ka tha kaDa
main ne das aane lagae is pe bola o-saKHi
sat pushton ne teri pahna tha ye juta kabhi
saindil ek barmi paDi thi us jagah msatana-war
is tarah rakkhi hui thi jaise patton mein anar
ye kisi college ki laDki ki rahi thi gham-gusar
naujawan ushshaq ke jazbe the us ke zer-e-bar
bola mein ye aap ki Thokar mein hain kya KHal-KHal
boli ye hain naujawan ushshaq ki chandiya ke baal
shaiKH ghesu karke ek mochi se pahle saz-baz
umr mein pahle-pahal masjid gae paDhne namaz
darmiyan mein toD kar ye apni niyat hila-saz
jhaD lae ek chappal jo thi be-had dil-nawaz
ye jawan chappal thi apne haal par wan nauha-KHwan
aur miyan ghesu ki thi iman ki ratb-ul-lisan
