Noorjahaan ke mazaar par


Pahlooe shaah mein ye dukhtare jumhoor ki qabr
 Kitne gumgashta fasaanon ka pataa detii hai
 Kitne khuunrez haqaaiq se uthaati hai naqaab
 Kitni kuchli hui jaanon ka pataa deti hai
 Kaise maghroor shahanshaahon ki taskiin ke liye
 Saal-ha-saal haseenaaon ke baazaar lage
 Kaise bahkii hui nazron ke ta’ayyush ke liye
 Surkh mahlon mein jawaan jismon ke ambaar lage
 Kaise har shaakh se munh-band mahakti kaliyaan
 Noch lii jaatii thiin taz’iine haram kii Khaatir
 Aur murjha ke bhi aazaad na ho saktii thiin
 Zille subhaan  kii ulfat ke bharam kii Khaatir
 Kaise ik fard ke honton ki zaraa sii jumbish
 Sard kar saktii thii be-laus wafaaon ke chiraagh
 Loot saktii thii damakte hue haathon ka suhaag
 Tor saktii thii maie ishq se labrez ayaagh

Sahmi-sahmi si fazaaon mein ye veeraan marqad
 Itna Khaamosh hai, faryaad-kunaan ho jaise
 Sard shaakhon mein havaa cheekh rahii hai aise
 Roohe taqdees-o-wafaa marsiyaa khwaan ho jaise

Tu meri jaan! Mujhe hairat-o-hasrat se na dekh
 Ham mein koi bhi jahaannoor-o-jahaangeer nahiin
 Tu mujhe chhor ke Thukraa ke bhi jaa sakti hai
 Tere haathon mein mire haath hain, zanjeer nahiin
