Ajab yeh saal hai hamadam

 

Ajab yeh saal hai hamadam,

Anokhe iske manzar hain,

  

Ummeedon ki yeh bikhri kirchiyan,

Yeh, khwab ke sookhe hue patte

Tazabzub ka, koi jhonka,

Yaqeen ke kaanpte tinkay

 

Dhake Chehron mein poshida,*

Khirad ki tah-ba-tah partein   

Ayan aankhen sunati hain,

Dilon ke sokhta qisse

 

Milana haath rasman bhi hai mushkil,**

Khulein kaise dilon ke, khardar raste

Quyood-o-band, ke is khel mein ab,

kahin simti hai duri,kahin bikhre hain rishte

 

Hakeem-e-Waqt ki annkhein hain giryan,

Farae’z se  magar kab haath thakte

Ameer-e-Waqt shayad,  bekhabar hai,

Sadayein so gayee hain, madad ki rah takte

 

Masajid dhoondti hain, Nemazi ab kahan hain

Shivaley bhi hain soone, Kaleesa bhi tadpate         

Na woh qadmon ki halchal Haram ke aastan pe

Sitam hai waqt ka sab, Aashiq kab hain rukte

 

Ajab yeh saal hai hamadam,

Anokhe iske manzar hain,
