Jab Kabhi Phoolon Ne Khushbu Ki Tijaarat Ki Hai

Jab kabhi phoolon ne khushbu ki tijaarat ki hai,
Patti patti ne hawaaon se shikayat ki hai,

Yoon laga jaise koi itr faza mein ghul jaaye
Jab kisi bachche ne quraa'n ki tilaawat ki hai,

Ja-namazon ki tarah noor mein ujlaai sahar,
Raat bhar jaise farishton ne ibaadat ki hai,

Sar uthaye thin bahut surkh hawa mein phir bhi,
Hum ne palkon ke charaghon ki hifaazat ki hai,

Mujhe tufaan-e-hawadis se daraane waalo,
Haadson ne to mere haath pe bai'at ki hai,

Aaj ek daana-e-gandum ke bhi haqdaar nahin,
Hum ne sadiyon inhin kheton pe hukoomat ki hai,

Ye zaroori tha ki hum dekhte qilon ke jalaal,
Umr bhar hum ne mazaaron ki ziyaarat ki hai.!!
