apni ruswai tere nam ka charcha dekhun
ek zara sher kahun aur main kya kya dekhun

Parveen Shakir

aamad pe teri itr o charagh o subu na hon
itna bhi bud-o-bash ko sada nahin kiya

Parveen Shakir

aat wo aadhi raat ki raat wo pure chand ki
chand bhi ain chait ka us pe tera jamal bhi

Parveen Shakir

---

---

adan ke karb ko wo bhi samajh na paega
main dil mein roungi aankhon mein muskuraungi

Parveen Shakir

ahut se log the mehman mere ghar lekin
wo jaanta tha ki hai ehtimam kis ke liye

Parveen Shakir

---

---

aKHt se koi shikayat hai na aflak se hai
yahi kya kam hai ki nisbat mujhe is KHak se hai

Parveen Shakir

---

---

and kar ke meri aankhen wo shararat se hanse
bujhe jaane ka main har roz tamasha dekhun

Parveen Shakir

---

---

as ye hua ki us ne takalluf se baat ki
aur hum ne rote rote dupaTTe bhigo liye

Parveen Shakir

---

---

ojh uThae hue phirti hai hamara ab tak
ai zamin man teri ye umr to aaram ki thi
