panch lahren
ehsās-e-kamtarī
maiñ gadā-gar bhī nahīñ ban saktā
ek bhī kalma tashakkur kā adā ho na sakegā mujh se
gūñgā autār
is ke muñh meñ zabāñ nahīñ lekin
biite lamhāt ke kināyoñ meñ
vaqt paiġhām de rahā hai hameñ
inqilāb
jeb meñ haath nazar meñ hai gulāb
shāḳh-e-gul jhuum ke uTThī to badan kaañp gayā
sa'ādat hasan manTo
har na.ī taḳhlīq par ik dost kho detā thā maiñ
āḳhrī lahr
jiinā achchhā hai ki marnā achchhā
kitnā achchhā thā ki paidā hī na hote ham tum
ehsas-e-kamtari
main gada-gar bhi nahin ban sakta
ek bhi kalma tashakkur ka ada ho na sakega mujh se
gunga autar
is ke munh mein zaban nahin lekin
bite lamhat ke kinayon mein
waqt paigham de raha hai hamein
inqilab
jeb mein hath nazar mein hai gulab
shaKH-e-gul jhum ke uTThi to badan kanp gaya
sa'adat hasan manTo
har nai taKHliq par ek dost kho deta tha main
aaKHri lahr
jina achchha hai ki marna achchha
kitna achchha tha ki paida hi na hote hum tum
