ظلمت کو ضیا صرصر کو صبا بندے کو خدا کیا لکھنا — فیض احمد فیض

Zulmat ko ziya sarsar ko saba bande ko Khuda kya likhna

Zulmat ko ziya sarsar ko saba bande ko Khuda kya likhna
Patthar ko gauhar deewar ko dar kargas ko huma kya likhna
Ek hashar bapa hai ghar mein dam ghutta hai gumbad-e-be-dar mein
Ek shakhs ke haathon muddat se ruswa hai watan duniya bhar mein
Aye deedah-waron is zillat ko qismat ka likha kya likhna
Zulmat ko ziya sarsar ko saba bande ko Khuda kya likhna
Yeh ehl-e-hasham yeh Daara-o-Jam sab naqsh bar aab hain aye humdum
Mit jaayenge sab parwarda-e-shab aye ehl-e-wafa reh jaayenge hum
Ho jaan ka ziyan par qatil ko masoom ada kya likhna
Zulmat ko ziya sarsar ko saba bande ko Khuda kya likhna
Logon pe hi hum ne jaan waari ki hum ne hi unhi ki gham-khwari
Hote hain toh hon yeh haath qalam shayar na banenge darbari
Iblees numa insano ki aye dost sana kya likhna
Zulmat ko ziya sarsar ko saba bande ko Khuda kya likhna
Haq baat pe kodhay aur zindan batil ke shikanje mein hai yeh jaan
Insan hain ke sehame baithe hain khoonkhar darinde hain raqsan
Is zulm-o-sitam ko lutf-o-karam is dukh ko dawa kya likhna
Zulmat ko ziya sarsar ko saba bande ko Khuda kya likhna
Har shaam yahan shaam-e-veeran aaseb zada raste galiyan
Jis shehar ki dhun mein nikle the woh shehar-e-dil barbaad kahan
Sehra ko chaman ban kar gulshan badal ko rida kya likhna
Zulmat ko ziya sarsar ko saba bande ko Khuda kya likhna
Aye mere watan ke fan-karo zulmat pe na apna fan waaro
Yeh mahal saraon ke baasi qatil hain sabhi apne yaaro
Virsey mein humein yeh gham hai mila is gham ko naya kya likhna
Zulmat ko ziya sarsar ko saba bande ko Khuda kya likhna
