Dosti ka hath

tumhaara hath baDha hai jo dosti ke liye
mere liye hai wo ek yar-e-gham-gusar ka hath

wo hath shaKH-e-gul-e-gulshan-e-tamanna hai
mahak raha hai mere hath mein bahaar ka hath

KHuda kare ki salamat rahen ye hath apne
ata hue hain jo zulfen sanwarne ke liye

zamin se naqsh miTane ko zulm o nafrat ka
falak se chand sitare utarne ke liye

zamin-e-pak hamare jigar ka TukDa hai
hamein aziz hai dehli o lucknow ki tarah

tumhaare lahje mein meri nawa ka lahja hai
tumhaara dil hai hasin meri aarzu ki tarah

karen ye ahd ki auzar-e-jang jitne hain
unhen miTana hai aur KHak mein milana hai

karen ye ahd ki arbab-e-jang hain jitne
unhen sharafat o insaniyat sikhana hai

jien tamam hasinan-e-KHaibar-o-lahore
jien tamam jawanan-e-jannat-e-kashmir

ho lab pe naghma-e-mahr-o-wafa ki tabani
kitab-e-dil pe faqat harf-e-ishq ho tahrir

tum aao gulshan-e-lahore se chaman-bardosh
hum aaen subh-e-banaras ki raushni le kar

himaliya ki hawaon ki tazgi le kar
phir is ke baad ye puchhen ki kaun dushman hai
