zulm mujh par shadid kar baiThe
phir wo kar-e-yazid kar baiThe
be-wafai bhi wo nibha na sake
hum wafa ki umid kar baiThe
jin pe marta tha tu wo sad-afsos
mere marne pe id kar baiThe
kis qadar KHush-nasib hoga wo jo
teri KHwabon mein did kar baiThe
hum the KHushiyon ko bechne nikle
dard-o-gham ki KHarid kar baiThe
kash nafrat ke leaderon ko koi
do tamanche rasid kar baiThe
aisi daulat ka faeda kya hai
jo KHuda se baid kar baiThe
kaun jaane ki ishq mein kitne
apni miTTi palid kar baiThe
miT gai qadr mar gae aadab
hum yun KHud ko jadid kar baiThe
kash ye meri shairi 'arif'
us ko mera murid kar baiThe
Ghazal
Zulm mujh par shadid kar baiThe
Syed Mohammad Askari Arif
