kahin par zulm ke shoale kahin par KHud-parasti hai
chaman ki aabru KHatre mein hai ye baat sachchi hai
wo ghola zahr nafrat ka siyasat ne fazaon mein
gulon ki aankh se shabnam lahu ban kar Tapakti hai
baghawat par agar hum log utar aae to kya hoga
abhi to hum ne rassi sabr ki ye tham rakkhi hai
wahan insaf ki ummid le kar ja rahe ho tum
jahan qanun ne aankhon se paTTi bandh rakkhi hai
taDapta hun bichhaD kar aap se kuchh is tarah 'jauhar'
bina pani ke jaise ret pe machhli taDapti hai
Ghazal
Kahin par zulm ke shoale kahin par KHud-parasti hai
Ali Khan Jauhar
