madam
aap be-vaj.h pareshān sī kyuuñ haiñ mādām
log kahte haiñ to phir Thiik hī kahte hoñge
mere ahbāb ne tahzīb na sīkhī hogī
mere māhaul meñ insān na rahte hoñge
nūr-e-sarmāya se hai rū-e-tamaddun kī jilā
ham jahāñ haiñ vahāñ tahzīb nahīñ pal saktī
muflisī hiss-e-latāfat ko miTā detī hai
bhuuk ādāb ke sāñchoñ meñ nahīñ Dhal saktī
log kahte haiñ to logoñ pe ta.ajjub kaisā
sach to kahte haiñ ki nādāroñ kī izzat kaisī
log kahte haiñ magar aap abhī tak chup haiñ
aap bhī kahiye ġharīboñ meñ sharāfat kaisī
nek mādām bahut jald vo daur aa.egā
jab hameñ ziist ke advār parakhne hoñge
apnī zillat kī qasam aap kī azmat kī qasam
ham ko tāzīm ke me.aar parakhne hoñge
ham ne har daur meñ tazlīl sahī hai lekin
ham ne har daur ke chehre ko ziyā baḳhshī hai
ham ne har daur meñ mehnat ke sitam jhele haiñ
ham ne har daur ke hāthoñ ko hinā baḳhshī hai
lekin in talḳh mabāhis se bhalā kyā hāsil
log kahte haiñ to phir Thiik hī kahte hoñge
mere ahbāb ne tahzīb na sīkhī hogī
maiñ jahāñ huuñ vahāñ insān na rahte hoñge
vaj.h-e-be-rañgī-e-gulzār kahūñ yā na kahūñ
kaun hai kitnā gunahgār kahūñ yā na kahūñ
aap be-wajh pareshan si kyun hain madam
log kahte hain to phir Thik hi kahte honge
mere ahbab ne tahzib na sikhi hogi
mere mahaul mein insan na rahte honge
nur-e-sarmaya se hai ru-e-tamaddun ki jila
hum jahan hain wahan tahzib nahin pal sakti
muflisi hiss-e-latafat ko miTa deti hai
bhuk aadab ke sanchon mein nahin Dhal sakti
log kahte hain to logon pe tajjub kaisa
sach to kahte hain ki nadaron ki izzat kaisi
log kahte hain magar aap abhi tak chup hain
aap bhi kahiye gharibon mein sharafat kaisi
nek madam bahut jald wo daur aaega
jab hamein zist ke adwar parakhne honge
apni zillat ki qasam aap ki azmat ki qasam
hum ko tazim ke mear parakhne honge
hum ne har daur mein tazlil sahi hai lekin
hum ne har daur ke chehre ko ziya baKHshi hai
hum ne har daur mein mehnat ke sitam jhele hain
hum ne har daur ke hathon ko hina baKHshi hai
lekin in talKH mabahis se bhala kya hasil
log kahte hain to phir Thik hi kahte honge
mere ahbab ne tahzib na sikhi hogi
main jahan hun wahan insan na rahte honge
wajh-e-be-rangi-e-gulzar kahun ya na kahun
kaun hai kitna gunahgar kahun ya na kahun
