Abu-lahab ki shadi

shab-e-zafaf-e-abu-lahab thi magar KHudaya wo kaisi shab thi
abu-lahab ki dulhan jab aai to sar pe indhan gale mein

sanpon ke haar lai na us ko mashshatgi se matlab
na mang ghaza na rang roghan gale mein sanpon

ke haar us ke to sar pe indhan
KHudaya kaisi shab-e-zafaf-e-abu-lahab thi

ye dekhte hi hujum biphra bhaDak uThe yun ghazab
ki shole ke jaise nange badan pe jabir ke taziyane

jawan laDkon ki taliyan thi na sehan mein shoKH
laDkiyon ke thirakte panw thirak rahe the

na naghma baqi na shadyane
abu-lahab ne ye rang dekha lagam thami lagai

mahmez abu-lahab ki KHabar na aai
abu-lahab ki KHabar jo aai to sal-ha-sal ka zamana

ghubar ban kar bikhar chuka tha
abu-lahab ajnabi zaminon ke lal o gauhar sameT kar

phir watan ko lauTa hazar tarrar o tez aankhen purane
ghurfon se jhank uTThin hujum pir o jawan ka

gahra hujum apne gharon se nikla abu-lahab ke julus
ko dekhne ko lapka

abu-lahab ek shab-e-zafaf-e-abu-lahab ka jala
phaphula KHayal ki ret ka bagula wo ishq-e-barbaad

ka heyula hujum mein se pukar uTThi abu-lahab
tu wahi hai jis ki dulhan jab aai to sar pe indhan

gale mein sanpon ke haar lai
abu-lahab ek lamha ThiThka lagam thami lagai

mahmez abu-lahab ki KHabar na aai
