mahatma-gandhi
shab-e-asia ke añdhere meñ sar-e-rāh jis kī thī raushnī
vo gauhar kisī ne chhupā liyā vo diyā kisī ne bujhā diyā
jo shahīd-e-zauq-e-hayāt ho use kyuuñ kaho ki vo mar gayā
use yuuñ hī rahne do hashr tak ye janāza kis ne uThā diyā
tirī zindagī bhī charāġh thī terī garm-e-ġham bhī charāġh hai
kabhī ye charāġh jalā diyā kabhī vo charāġh jalā diyā
jise ziist se koī pyaar thā use zahr se sarokār thā
vahī ḳhāk-o-ḳhūñ meñ paḌā milā jise dard-e-dil ne mazā diyā
jise dushmanī pe ġhurūr thā use dostī se shikast dī
jo dhaḌak rahe the alag alag unheñ do diloñ ko milā diyā
jo na daaġh chehra miTā sake unheñ toḌnā hī thā aa.ina
jo ḳhazāna luuT sake nahīñ use rahzanoñ ne luTā diyā
vo hamesha ke liye chup hue magar ik jahāñ ko zabān do
vo hamesha ke liye so ga.e magar ik jahāñ ko jagā diyā
shab-e-asia ke andhere mein sar-e-rah jis ki thi raushni
wo gauhar kisi ne chhupa liya wo diya kisi ne bujha diya
jo shahid-e-zauq-e-hayat ho use kyun kaho ki wo mar gaya
use yun hi rahne do hashr tak ye janaza kis ne uTha diya
teri zindagi bhi charagh thi teri garm-e-gham bhi charagh hai
kabhi ye charagh jala diya kabhi wo charagh jala diya
jise zist se koi pyar tha use zahr se sarokar tha
wahi KHak-o-KHun mein paDa mila jise dard-e-dil ne maza diya
jise dushmani pe ghurur tha use dosti se shikast di
jo dhaDak rahe the alag alag unhen do dilon ko mila diya
jo na dagh chehra miTa sake unhen toDna hi tha aaina
jo KHazana luT sake nahin use rahzanon ne luTa diya
wo hamesha ke liye chup hue magar ek jahan ko zaban do
wo hamesha ke liye so gae magar ek jahan ko jaga diya
