Haji-baba

purani baat hai
lekin ye anhoni si lagti hai

suna hai jab kabhi shahr-e-saba ke haji-baba
apne shagirdon ko dars-e-aKHiri dete

saron par un ke dastar-e-fazilat bandhte
kale amamon mein sab hi shagird saf-basta khaDe

ye ahd karte the
KHudawanda

hamare ilm mein to KHair-o-barkat de
hamein taufiq de hum haji-baba ki tarah

shahr-e-saba ke chaar konon mein nae maktab banaen
dars-gahon ki bina Dalen

suna hai haji-baba
apne shagirdon ko chaar hisson mein jab taqsim karte to

zamin ke chaar konon se sada-e-marhaba aati
har ek su

mushk ki KHushbu faza mein phail si jati
bahut din baad phir aisa hua tha haji-baba ne

zamin ke chaar konon se dhuan uThte hue dekha
jale harfon ki ruh matam-kunan

shahr-e-saba mein muddaton phirti rahi tanha
suna hai phir kabhi

shahr-e-saba ke haji-baba ne dar-e-maktab nahin khola
kisi par koi kala amama phir nahin bandha
