daakhile Koofa hua jab naaeb’e Sultaane DeeN
az rahe makr aaey baiyat ko hazaaroN mushrekiN

le li baiyat KoofiyoN se Hazrat’e Muslim ne jab
naama ek bahr’e talab bheija suey Sultaane DeeN

baad iss ke ho gaey sAb ahle koofa munharif
aur baraaey qatl’e Muslim aa gai fauj’e laeeN

aalam’e tanhaai, shiddat pyaas ki, jaaeN kahaaN
ab kahiN dhooNde se bhi jaaey amaaN milti nahiN

ittefaqaN raah meiN jab khanaey Tau’a mila
tab kaha paani pila de bahr’e Khatmul MursaleeN

jaam paani ka pila ke momina ne baa_adab
aap se naam o nishaaN poocha ba_aawaaze hazeeN

baad israar uss se haalat be_kasi ki jab kahi
sunte hi naam apne ghar meiN le gai woh paak deeN

raat bhar mehmaaN rahe, laRke ne uske subho ko
haakime Koofa se kah kar bheij di fauje laeen

ghar se nikle suntey hi ghoRoN ki taapoN ki sada
aur kheeNchi teigh bahr’e qatle fauj’e mushrekeeN

ho gaey jab aap se maghloob woh makkaar sab
karke khas_posh ek gaRhey ko hAt gaey peechey laeeN

laRte laRte Hazrate Muslim gire uss ghaar meiN
hamla_war naizon se be_kas par huEy aadaaey deeN

baad’e qatl ek resmaaN se paaey mayyat baandhkar
kheenchte phirte thEy baazaaron meiN Koofa ke laeeN

kAr dua aey Fikr* khaliq se ke mar jaane ke baad
qabr ko mil jaaey nizd’e rauzaey Muslim, zameeN
