Jo Aata Hai Khushi Ki Inteha Par;
Bahut Roye The Us Aansu Ki Khatir!
Yeh Aarzo Thi Ki Hum Us Ke Saath Chalein;
Magar Woh Shakhs Toh Raasta Badalta Jata Hai!
Dil Ko Dil Se Reh Hai Tu, Jis Tarah Se Hum,
Tujhe Yaad Karte Hain, Kare Yun Hi Humein Bhi Yaad Tu!
Apni Zoja Ki Ta'aruf Mein Kaha Ek Shakhs Ne,
Dil Se Un Ka Mo'taraf Hun Main Zubani Hi Nahi;
Chai Bhi Achhi Banati Hai Meri Begham Magar,
Munh Bnane Mein Toh Un Ka Koi Saani Hi Nahi!
Bas Gayi Hai Ye Mere Ehsaas Mein Kaisi Mehak;
Koi Khushbu Main Lagaoon Teri Khushbu Aaye!
Bulleh Nu Lok Matan Dainde Tun Ja Bho Maseeti,
Vich Maseetan Ki Kujh Hunda Je Dilo Namaz Na Neti;
Bahar Pak Kite Keh Hunda Je Andron Na Gayi Pleti,
Bin Murshad Kamal Bhulya Teri Awain Gayi Ibadat Kiti!
Main Tere Milne Ko Mojza Keh Raha Tha Lekin;
Tere Bicharne Ka Saniha Bhi Kamaal Guzra!
Is Shehar Mein Kitne Chehre The Kuch Yaad Nahi Sab Bhol Gaye;
Ik Shakhs Kitabon Jaisa Tha Woh Shakhs Zubani Yaad Hua!
Maine Chaha Hai Tujhe Aam Se Insan Ki Tarah;
Tu Mera Khwab Nahi Hai Jo Bikhar Jaye Ga!
Ab Koi Khushi Hai Na Koi, Dard Rulane Wala;
Hum Ne Apna Liya Har, Rang Zamane Wala!
