Yaaden, Urdu Nazam By Sami Sultanpuri

wo lamhe kitne dilkash the
wo ghaDiyan kitni pyari thin
jug jug ki do pyasi ruhen
be-KHauf-o-KHatar anjaan milin

ek peD ki ThanDi chhanw tale
wo waqt hai ab tak yaad mujhe

jab jang ke baadal chhae the
dushman sarhad par aae the
kuchh tank top bhi lae the
phir to wo munh ki khae the

bhaarat ke wir sipahi se
wo waqt hai ab tak yaad mujhe

majbur-o-nihatti ye janta
jab mang rahi thi haq apna
dana pani roTi kapDa
le kar laThi DanDa bhaala

maghrur sipahi TuT paDe
wo waqt hai ab tak yaad mujhe

jab bhuk pali dahqanon mein
jab aag lagi khaliyanon mein
jab mang baDhi samanon mein
ru-posh hue tah-KHanon mein

baqqal ke sare bhag khule
wo waqt hai ab tak yaad mujhe

jine ka har ek saman bika
aflas-zada insan bika
kauDi kauDi iman bika
saste damon abhiman bika
phir pap ke chashme phuT paDe
wo waqt hai ab tak yaad mujhe
