maiN lakhT e jigar saaheb’e shamsheer’e do-sar hooN

Na Zarurat Thi Talwaar Ki Na Aur Kisi Hathiyar Ki
Sirf Ek Dua Thi Karbala Main Alamdaar Ki
Fakat Mil Jaye Ijazat Aqa Hussain Sai
To Yaad DilaDunga Jung Haider-e-Karrar Ki

Mir Anees* ke teen bUnd pesh kar raha hooN jismein maidan’e Karbala mein Hazrat Abbas (A. S.)
ki shuja’at ka bayaan hai

naara tha ke haan aey sipah’e Sha’m, khabardaar
Abbas e dilaawar hai mera naam, khabardaar
hai qahr’e ilaahi meri samsaam, khabardaar
naizah hai mera maut ka paighaam, khabardaar

maiN lakhT e jigar saaheb’e shamsheer’e do-sar hooN
hoshyaar ke maiN sheir e ilaahi ka pisar hooN

farma ke yeh li teigh, bahaadur ne miyaaN se
ghoaRe ko jo cheiRa, na ruka laakh jawaan se
hAr waar meiN sAr girn’e lagey barg e khizaaN se
chaln’e mein ziyaada thi rawaaN, aab’e rawaaN se

jis par paRi, naazil hua qahr uss pa raza ka
thi teigh ki zarbat ke tamaaNcha tha qaza ka

hangaam e wegha bAnd thi rah amn o amaaN ki
jaaN choaRti thi na woh kisi, peer o jawaan ki
humdum thi yadullah ki teigh e do zabaaN ki
thi qatey umid uss se hAr ek dushman e jaan ki

hAr fArd ko iss teigh ka jauhar nazar aaya
saaya bhi paRa jis pa woh be-sAr nazar aaya

Aakhir meiN Josh* Malihabaadi ki eik rubaai mulaheza ho:

seeney pa mere naqsh e qadam kiska hai
rindi meiN yeh ijlaal o hasham kiska hai
zahid, mere iss haath ke saaghar ko na deikh
yeh deikh ke iss sAr pa alam kiska hai
