زمانے میں وہ مہ لقا ایک ہے — رند لکھنوی

Zamane mein woh mah-laqa ek hai

Zamane mein woh mah-laqa ek hai
Hazaron mein woh dilruba ek hai
Khudavand-e-arz o sama ek hai
Qasam hai Khuda ki Khuda ek hai
Barabar hai apna wajood o adam
Hamari baqa aur fana ek hai
Adam ibtida hai adam intiha
Meri ibtida intiha ek hai
Na honge ye hadis rahega qadeem
Gharaz sab hain faani baqa ek hai
Zara ghaur se mir'at-e-dil ko dekh
Ye aaina-e-haq-numa ek hai
Jinhein kufr o ilhad kehta hai shaikh
Faqat pher hai rasta ek hai
Jahan mein hain ghafil bahut se tareeq
Magar rah-e-sidq o safa ek hai
Ma'al-e-sukhan zikr hai yaar ka
Kahoon sau tarah muddaa ek hai
Mahal-e-faqr ka hai ajaib maqam
Yahan masnad o boriya ek hai
Kahan us ke aage kisi ka farogh
Woh khurshid-roo mah-laqa ek hai
Fazilat mili ek ko ek par
Gharaz ek se yan siwa ek hai
Bachega na kaawish se muzhgan ke dil
Ke nishtar bahut aabla ek hai
Jafakar dam-baaz kazib muheel
Main waqif hoon woh bewafa ek hai
Hai ambuh-e-ushshaq Isa ke ghar
Mareez itne daar-ush-shifa ek hai
Nahin bachhta donon ka mara hua
Teri zulf aur ajdaha ek hai
Na aana to is zulf ke pech mein
Arre dil woh kaali bala ek hai
Hazaron shaheed-e-mohabbat hain dafn
Gali us ki aur Karbala ek hai
Har ek dard ka hai mudawa woh lab
Maraz saikdon hain dawa ek hai
Dooyi ko na de dil mein ghafil jagah
Zaban ek hai aur Khuda ek hai
Kaho ge jo kuchh to suno ge bhi Rind
Hansi mein to shah o gada ek hai
