INSHA (1817-1756)
Kamar bandhe hoe chalne ko yaN
sab yar bethe haiN
Bahut aage gaye baqi jo haiN
tayar bethe haiN
Na ched aye nighat bad bahari rah
lag apni
Tujhe othkheliyaN so jhi haiN ham
bezar bethe haiN
Tasawor aarsh par he aur sar he
paye saqi par
Arz kuch aur dhun main is
ghadimekhar bethe haiN
Besan naqsh paye rehrawaN koe
tamanna main
nahiN othne ki taqat kya kareN la
char bethe haiN
ye apni chal he oftagi se ab ke
pehroN tak
nazar aya jahaN par saya e diwar
bethe haiN
kahaN sabar o
tahammol aah nan o nam
kya she he
yahaN ro pet kar in
sab ko ham yakbar bethe haiN
najeboN ka ajab
kuch hal he is dor main yaro!
jahaN pocho yahi
kehte haiN ham bekar bethe haiN
bhala gardish falak
ki chen deti he kise INSHA
ganimat he ke ham
sorat yahaN do char bethe haiN
