    Interesting Fact

    Dedicated to Indian intellectuals, Sardar Jafri later responded with the same vigor.

    guzar ga.e ka.ī mausam ka.ī ruteñ badlīñ

    udaas tum bhī ho yaaro udaas ham bhī haiñ

    faqat tumhīñ ko nahīñ rañj-e-chāk-dāmānī

    ki sach kaheñ to darīda-libās ham bhī haiñ

    tumhāre baam sham.eñ bhī tābnāk nahīñ

    mire falak ke sitāre bhī zard zard se haiñ

    tumhāre ā.ina-ḳhāne bhī zañg-ālūda

    mire surāhī o sāġhar bhī gard gard se haiñ

    na tum ko apne ḳhad-o-ḳhāl nazar aa.eñ

    na maiñ ye dekh sakūñ jaam meñ bharā kyā hai

    basāratoñ pe vo jaale paḌe ki donoñ ko

    samajh meñ kuchh nahīñ aatā ki mājrā kyā hai

    na sarv meñ vo ġhurūr-e-kashīda-qāmatī hai

    na qumriyoñ udāsī meñ kuchh kamī aa.ī

    na khil sake kisī jānib mohabbatoñ ke gulāb

    na shāḳh-e-amn liye fāḳhta koī aa.ī

    tumheñ bhī zid hai ki mashq-e-sitam rahe jaarī

    hameñ bhī naaz ki jaur-o-jafā ke aadī haiñ

    tumheñ bhī zo.am mahā-bhārtā laḌī tum ne

    hameñ bhī faḳhr ki ham karbalā ke aadī haiñ

    sitam to ye hai ki donoñ ke marġh-zāroñ se

    havā-e-fitna o bū-e-fasād aatī hai

    alam to ye hai ki donoñ ko vahm hai ki bahār

    adū ke ḳhuuñ meñ nahāne ke ba.ad aatī hai

    to ab ye haal huā is darindagī ke sabab

    tumhāre paañv salāmat rahe na haath mire

    na jiit jiit tumhārī na haar haar mirī

    na koī saath tumhāre na koī saath mire

    hamāre shahroñ majbūr o be-navā maḳhlūq

    dabī huī hai dukhoñ ke hazār Dheroñ meñ

    ab un tīra-nasībī charāġh chāhtī hai

    jo log nisf sadī tak rahe añdheroñ meñ

    charāġh jin se mohabbat raushnī phaile

    charāġh jin se diloñ ke dayār raushan hoñ

    charāġh jin se ziyā amn-o-āshtī mile

    charāġh jin se diye be-shumār raushan huuñ

    tumhāre des meñ aayā huuñ dosto ab ke

    na sāz-o-naġhma mahfil na shā.irī ke liye

    agar tumhārī anā hai savāl to phir

    chalo maiñ haath baḌhātā huuñ dostī ke liye

    guzar gae kai mausam kai ruten badlin

    udas tum bhi ho yaro udas hum bhi hain

    faqat tumhin ko nahin ranj-e-chaak-damani

    ki sach kahen to darida-libas hum bhi hain

    tumhaare baam ki shamen bhi tabnak nahin

    mere falak ke sitare bhi zard zard se hain

    tumhaare aaina-KHane bhi zang-aluda

    mere surahi o saghar bhi gard gard se hain

    na tum ko apne KHad-o-KHal hi nazar aaen

    na main ye dekh sakun jam mein bhara kya hai

    basaraton pe wo jale paDe ki donon ko

    samajh mein kuchh nahin aata ki majra kya hai

    na sarw mein wo ghurur-e-kashida-qamati hai

    na qumriyon ki udasi mein kuchh kami aai

    na khil sake kisi jaanib mohabbaton ke gulab

    na shaKH-e-amn liye faKHta koi aai

    tumhein bhi zid hai ki mashq-e-sitam rahe jari

    hamein bhi naz ki jaur-o-jafa ke aadi hain

    tumhein bhi zoam maha-bhaarta laDi tum ne

    hamein bhi faKHr ki hum karbala ke aadi hain

    sitam to ye hai ki donon ke margh-zaron se

    hawa-e-fitna o bu-e-fasad aati hai

    alam to ye hai ki donon ko wahm hai ki bahaar

    adu ke KHun mein nahane ke baad aati hai

    to ab ye haal hua is darindagi ke sabab

    tumhaare panw salamat rahe na hath mere

    na jit jit tumhaari na haar haar meri

    na koi sath tumhaare na koi sath mere

    hamare shahron ki majbur o be-nawa maKHluq

    dabi hui hai dukhon ke hazar Dheron mein

    ab un ki tira-nasibi charagh chahti hai

    jo log nisf sadi tak rahe andheron mein

    charagh jin se mohabbat ki raushni phaile

    charagh jin se dilon ke dayar raushan hon

    charagh jin se ziya amn-o-ashti ki mile

    charagh jin se diye be-shumar raushan hun

    tumhaare des mein aaya hun dosto ab ke

    na saz-o-naghma ki mahfil na shairi ke liye

    agar tumhaari ana hi ka hai sawal to phir

    chalo main hath baDhata hun dosti ke liye
