KHwab-e-sahar

mahr sadiyon se chamakta hi raha aflak par

raat hi tari rahi insan ke idrak par

aql ke maidan mein zulmat ka Dera hi raha

dil mein tariki dimaghon mein andhera hi raha

ek na ek mazhab ki sai-e-KHam bhi hoti rahi

ahl-e-dil par barish-e-ilham bhi hoti rahi

aasmanon se farishte bhi utarte hi rahe

nek bande bhi KHuda ka kaam karte hi rahe

ibn-e-maryam bhi uThe musi-e-imran bhi uThe

ram o gautam bhi uThe firaun o haman bhi uThe

ahl-e-saif uThte rahe ahl-e-kitab aate rahe

in janab uThte aur aan-janab aate rahe

hukmaran dil par rahe sadiyon talak asnam bhi

abr-e-rahmat ban ke chhaya dahr par islam bhi

masjidon mein maulwi KHutbe sunate hi rahe

mandiron mein barhaman ashlok gate hi rahe

aadmi minnat-kash-e-arbab-e-irfan hi raha

dard-e-insani magar mahrum-e-darman hi raha

ek na ek dar par jabin-e-shauq ghisti hi rahi

aadamiyyat zulm ki chakki mein pasti hi rahi

rahbari jari rahi paighambari jari rahi

din ke parde mein jang-e-zargari jari rahi

ahl-e-baatin ilm se sinon ko garmate rahe

jahl ke tarik sae hath phailate rahe

ye musalsal aafaten ye yorish ye qatl-e-am

aadmi kab tak rahe auham-e-baatil ka ghulam

zehan-e-insani ne ab auham ke zulmat mein

zindagi ki saKHt tufani andheri raat mein

kuchh nahin to kam se kam KHwab-e-sahar dekha to hai

jis taraf dekha na tha ab tak udhar dekha to hai
