gautam-budh
ik janāze ko uThā.e jā rahe the chand log
tum ne pūchhā kyā huā kyuuñ jā rahe ho tum malūl
tum ko logoñ ne batāyā mar gayā hai ek shaḳhs
aur yuuñ marte haiñ nādāñ huuñ ki arbāb-e-uqūl
māñgne ko chand paise peT bharne ke liye
jā rahā thā rāste se ek be-bechāra faqīr
tum ne dekhā koī us kā pūchhne vaalā nahīñ
thā maraz meñ mubtalā vo qaid-e-nik.hat kā asiir
chashm-e-haq-bīñ ke liye ibrat ke nazzāre mile
hastī-e-insān pe jo zindagānī dekh kar
aish-o-ishrat ke maze be-kār se sābit hue
naqsh-e-ālam meñ numāyāñ rañg-e-fānī dekh kar
raaj chhoḌā bādshāhat kī ummīdeñ tark kiiñ
ho gayā betāb dil rūh-e-haqīqat ke liye
chhoḌ diiñ āsā.isheñ phirte rahe tum kū-ba-kū
hastī-e-ma.abūd kī nazr-e-aqīdat ke liye
iztirābāna basar kī zindagānī muddatoñ
kulfateñ rah ke uThā.īñ mausamoñ kī shiddateñ
kī riyāzat rāt-din dil kī tasallī ke liye
jā-ba-jā phirte rahe kiiñ murshidoñ kī ḳhidmateñ
duur bastī se gayā ke ik shajar kī chhāñv meñ
tum ko bil-āḳhir sukūn-e-jāvedānī mil gayā
daf.atan chamkī haqīqat kī tajallī sāmne
mehnat-e-paiham se rāz-e-zindagānī mil gayā
ab bhī pairav haiñ tumhāre tum ho un ke devtā
ab bhī pur un kī aqīdat se tumhārā jaam hai
ye natā.ej haiñ tumhāre be-ġharaz a.amāl ke
tum nahīñ zinda magar zinda tumhārā naam hai
ek janaze ko uThae ja rahe the chand log
tum ne puchha kya hua kyun ja rahe ho tum malul
tum ko logon ne bataya mar gaya hai ek shaKHs
aur yun marte hain nadan hun ki arbab-e-uqul
mangne ko chand paise peT bharne ke liye
ja raha tha raste se ek be-bechaara faqir
tum ne dekha koi us ka puchhne wala nahin
tha maraz mein mubtala wo qaid-e-nikhat ka asir
chashm-e-haq-bin ke liye ibrat ke nazzare mile
hasti-e-insan pe jo zindagani dekh kar
aish-o-ishrat ke maze be-kar se sabit hue
naqsh-e-alam mein numayan rang-e-fani dekh kar
raj chhoDa baadshahat ki ummiden tark kin
ho gaya betab dil ruh-e-haqiqat ke liye
chhoD din aasaishen phirte rahe tum ku-ba-ku
hasti-e-mabud ki nazr-e-aqidat ke liye
iztirabana basar ki zindagani muddaton
kulfaten rah ke uThain mausamon ki shiddaten
ki riyazat raat-din dil ki tasalli ke liye
ja-ba-ja phirte rahe kin murshidon ki KHidmaten
dur basti se gaya ke ek shajar ki chhanw mein
tum ko bil-aKHir sukun-e-jawedani mil gaya
dafatan chamki haqiqat ki tajalli samne
mehnat-e-paiham se raaz-e-zindagani mil gaya
ab bhi pairaw hain tumhaare tum ho un ke dewta
ab bhi pur un ki aqidat se tumhaara jam hai
ye nataej hain tumhaare be-gharaz aamal ke
tum nahin zinda magar zinda tumhaara nam hai
