وہ سو سو اٹھکھٹوں سے گھر سے باہر دو قدم نکلے — بہادرشاہ ظفر

Wo sau sau uṭhkhaṭṭhoñ se ghar se baahar do qadam nikle

Wo sau sau uṭhkhaṭṭhoñ se ghar se baahar do qadam nikle
Balā se us ki gar us mein kisi muztar ka dam nikle
Kahāñ aansoo ke qatre khoon-e-dil se hain baham nikle
Ye dil mein jama the muddat se kuchh paikān-e-gham nikle
Mere mazmūñ-e-soz-e-dil se khat sab jal gaya mera
Qalam se harf jo nikle sharar hi yak qalam nikle
Nikāl ae chaara gar tu shauq se lekin sar-e-paikān
Idhar nikle jigar se teer udhar qaalib se dam nikle
Tasavvur se lab-e-la'leñ ke tere hum agar ro deñ
To jo lakht-e-jigar aankhoñ se nikle ik raqam nikle
Nahin ḍarte agar hoñ laakh zindāñ yaar-e-zindāñ se
Junūñ ab to misāl-e-nāla zanjeer hum nikle
Jigar par dāgh lab par dood-e-dil aur ashk dāman mein
Teri mehfil se hum mānind-e-shama subh-dam nikle
Agar hota zamāna gesū-e-shab-rang ka tere
Meri shab-dīz-e-saudā ka ziyāda tar qadam nikle
Kaji jin ki tabī'at mein hai kab hoti wo seedhī hai
Kaho shākh-e-gul-e-tasveer se kis tarah kham nikle
Shumār ik shab kya hum ne jo apne dil ke daghoñ se
To anjum-e-charkh-e-hashtum ke bahut se un se kam nikle
Khudā ke wāste zāhid uṭhā parda na kaaba ka
Kaheñ aisa na ho yaañ bhi wahi kāfir-sanam nikle
Tamannā hai ye dil mein jab talak hai dam mein dam apne
Zafar muñh se hamāre naam us ka dam ba-dam nikle
