Rayt say bot na banaa aay mery achy fankaar
ek lamhy ko Thahar, main tujhy patthar laa doun
main tere saamane ambaar lagaa dounlekin
kon say rang kaa patthar tere kaam aayega
sorkh patthar jissy dil kahati hay bay-dil duniyaa
yaa wo pathur jessy aaNkh kaa niilaa patthar
jis mean sadiiyon ky takhueyur ke parry hon Dorry
kyaa tujhe ruuh ke patthar kii zaruurat hogii
jis pe haq baat bhii patthar kii tarah girtii hay
ek wo patthar hai jise kahte hain tahziib-e-safed
us ke mar-mar meN siyah Khuun jhalak jaataa hai
ik insaaf kaa patthar bhii to hotaa hai magar
haath meN teshaa-e-zar ho to vo haath aataa hai
jitne mayyaar haiN is daur ke sab patthar haiN
sher bhii raqs bhii tasviir-o-Ghinaa bhii patthar
mere ilhaam teraa zahn-e-rasaa bhii patthar
is zamaane meN har fan kaa nishaaN patthar hai
haath patthar haiN tere merii zubaaN patthar hai
ret se but na banaa ai mere achchhe fankaar
