पागल दीवाना

“अपने लहू से सिंचा है उन परवानों ने,

यूंही नहीं ये वादियां जन्नत कहलाती हैं

आज भी खड़ी है रुह-ए-आशिक़ इन सरहदों पे,

आज़माना है किसी को अपना ज़ोर तो आए

पूछा खुदा ने काफी कत्ल किए हैं उस जहां ने,

बोला, आशिक-ए-वतन हूं गुनाहों की हर सज़ा मंजूर है

करके नम अपने चशम, बोले निज़ाम ए आलम,

ऐसे दलेर आशिक से पहली दफा पाला पड़ा है

बोला, खुदा कतार बहुत लंबी है अभी आने वालों की,

कमी नहीं है मेरे मुल्क में उसपर मर मिटने वालों की”
