زمیں بدلی فلک بدلا مذاق زندگی بدلا — فراق گورکھپوری

Zameen badli falak badla mazaq-e-zindagi badla

Zameen badli falak badla mazaq-e-zindagi badla
Tamaddun ke qadeem aqdaar badle aadmi badla
Khuda o ahrman badle voh imaan-e-do'i badla
Hudood-e-khair o shar badle mazaq-e-kaafiri badla
Na.e insaan ka jab daur-e-khud na-aagahi badla
Rumooz-e-bekhudi badle taqaza-e-khudi badla
Badalte ja rahe hain hum bhi duniya ko badalne mein
Nahin badli abhi duniya to duniya ko abhi badla
Na'i manzil ke meer-e-karvaan bhi aur hote hain
Purane Khizr-e-rah badle voh tarz-e-rahbari badla
Kabhi socha bhi hai ai nazm-e-kohna ke khudaavando
Tumhara hashr kya hoga jo yeh aalam kabhi badla
Idhar pichle se ahl-e-maal o zar par raat bhaari hai
Idhar bedari-e-jamhoor ka andaaz bhi badla
Zahe soz-e-gham-e-aadam khusha saaz-e-dil-e-aadam
Isi ek shama' ki lau ne jahan-e-teeragi badla
Na.e Mansoor hain sadiyon purane shaikh o qazi hain
Na fatve kufr ke badle na uzr daar hi badla
Bata.e to bata.e us ko teri shokhi-e-pinhan
Teri chashm-e-tavajjoh hai ke tarz-e-be-rukhi badla
Ba faiz-e-aadam-e-khaki zameen sona ugalti hai
Isi zarre ne daur-e-mehr o mah o mushtari badla
Sitaare jaagte hain raat luT chhiTka.e soti hai
Dabe paaon kisi ne aa ke khwab-e-zindagi badla
Firaq hamnava-e-Meer o Ghalib ab na.e naghme
Voh bazm-e-zindagi badli voh rang-e-sha'iri badla
