aazadi mein rahne wale dekho kaise rahte hain
apne sae se Darte hain chaunke chaunke rahte hain
hare-bhare peDon ke upar jin ke Thor Thikane the
ab wo panchhi shor-e-zamin par dhup mein jalte rahte hain
Takraate rahte hain aksar patthar jaise logon se
hum dil wale kirchi kirchi aaine se rahte hain
gahrai se moti lane walon ka ye haal hua
sahil ki aaghosh mein baiThe lahren ginte rahte hain
lau ki zad mein rahne walo un ki or na dekho tum
baadal ki hamrahi mein jo aksar bhige rahte hain
aaKHir aaKHir KHud bhi zaKHmi ho kar hote hain bad-haal
awwal awwal zaKHmon ke saudagar achchhe rahte hain
kaise kaise maile ho kar wapas aate hain 'mahir'
log nikalte hain jab ghar se ujle ujle rahte hain
Ghazal
Aazadi mein rahne wale dekho kaise rahte hain
