[waheed ahmed]

YouN hii chala aaya thaa shahr maiN
Na kuch socha na samjhaa na bhala
aur dil maiN mhabbatouN ke charagh jal rahe thay
Magar achanak ye kia ho giaa he
ye kon merii rooh maiN safaaqiyet bher giaa he
ye kon masoom surkh gulabouN ke ten chaak ker ke
mere jism maiN nafrat kii aag ber giaa he
ye ander kaa dushman shayed
merii taareekh se waqif nahii thaa
ye derandagii maiN palne waale
apne hi bhaayouN ka khoun peene waale
na koii deen na mazhab
na koii in kii zaat na qabeelaa
ye badle ki aag maiN jhulse huwe
MakrooH chehre
ye fasaadiii mulaah
ye dehshat gard ye lutairay
Merii sir zameen e pak ke
khalyaanoN maiN khoun bher gaye thay
Utho mere ghazii mere shaheedo
serd khonii raingne waale zahreele
keeDouN ko
apne aahnii bootoN se kuchal ker
apnii is sir zammeN ko saf ker do
Paak ker do,
