kya ye but baiThenge KHuda ban kar
allah allah ai barahman kar
hoga barbaad misl-e-kaghaz baad
sar ko khincha falak pe gar tan kar
KHanjar-o-tegh kar gale pe rawan
pher kar aankh kaj na chitwan kar
ai teri shan ho gaya insan
ek musht-e-ghubar ban-Than kar
pak daman hai mariyam-e-sani
chashm-e-tar tifl-e-ashk ko jan kar
dil ke Dasne mein hai ye kala nag
zulf-e-pechan se bil na nagan kar
tu agar haDDiyon ka mala hai
ism-e-azam ki dard sumran kar
hai ye chhalni mazar-e-'shad'-e-gharib
dhup aati hai lash par chhan kar
Ghazal
Kya ye but baiThenge KHuda ban kar
