Iftikhar Arif

21 March 1943 / Lucknow / British India

Ye ab khula hai k koi bhi manzar mera na tha

ye ab khula hai k koi bhi manzar mera na tha
main jis mein rah raha tha wahi ghar mera na tha

main jis ko ek umr sambhale phira kiya
mitti bata rahi wo paikar mera na tha

mauj-e-hawa-e-shahar-e-muqaddar jawab de
dariya mere na the k samandar mera na tha

phir bhi to sangsar kiya ja raha hun main
kahte hain nam tak sar-e-mahzar mera na tha

sab log apne apne qabilon k sath the
ek main hi tha k koi bhi lashkar mera na tha
