Wishing the members of Mehfil-e-Gazal a very happy

and new millennium with this nazm by Sahir Ludhianvi
titled "Ummiid"

Ummiid

vo subah kabhii to aaegii 

in kaalii sadiyo.n ke sar se jab raat kaa aa.Nchal dhalakegaa 
jab dukh ke baadal pighale.nge jab sukh kaa saagar jhalakegaa 
jab ambar jhuum ke naachegaa jab dharatii naGme gaaegii 

vo subah kabhii to aaegii 

jis subah kii Khaatir yug yug se ham sab mar mar ke jiite hai.n 
jis subah ke amrit kii dhun me.n ham zahar ke pyaale piite hai.n 
in bhuukii pyaasii ruuho.n par ik din to karam faramaaegii 

vo subah kabhii to aaegii 

maanaa ke abhii tere mere aramaano.n kii qiimat kuchh bhii nahii.n 
miTTii kaa bhii hai kuchh mol magar insaano.n kii qiimat kuchh bhii nahii.n 
insaano.n kii izzat jab jhuuThe sikko.n me.n na tolii jaaegii 

vo subah kabhii to aaegii 

daulat ke liye jab aurat kii ismat ko naa bechaa jaaegaa 
chaahat ko naa kuchalaa jaaegaa, izzat ko naa bechaa jaaegaa 
apanii kaalii karatuuto.n par jab ye duniyaa sharmaaegii 

vo subah kabhii to aaegii 

biite.nge kabhii to din aaKhir ye bhuuk ke aur bekaarii ke 
TuuTe.nge kabhii to but aaKhir daulat kii ijaaraadaarii ke 
jab ek anokhii duniyaa kii buniyaad uThaaii jaaegii 

vo subah kabhii to aaegii 

majabuur bu.Daapaa jab suunii raaho.n kii dhuul na pha.Nkegaa 
maasuum la.Dakapan jab ga.ndii galiyo.n me.n bhiik na maa.Ngegaa 
haq maa.Ngane waalo.n ko jis din sulii na dikhaaii jaaegii 

vo subah kabhii to aaegii 

faaaqo.n kii chitaao.n par jis din insaa.N na jalaae jaae.nge 
siine ke dahakate dozakh me.n aramaa.N na jalaae jaae.nge 
ye narak se bhii ga.ndii duniyaa, jab swarg banaaii jaaegii 

vo subah kabhii to aaegii 

jis subah kii Khaatir jug jug se ham sab mar mar ke jiite hai.n 
jis subah ke amrit kii dhun me.n ham zahar ke pyaale piite hai.n 
vo subah na aaye aaj magar, vo subah kabhii to aayegii 

vo subah kabhii to aaegii
