Bichhi Hui Hai Bisat Kab Se,
Zamana Shatir Hai Aur Hum;
Is Bisat Ke Zisht-o-Khub-Khanon Mein,
Dast-e-Nadida Ke Isharon Pe Chal Rahe Hain!
*Bisat:Expanse, Dast-e-Nadida : Unseen Hand
Baqa-e-Dil Ke Liye Jo Lahoo Zaroori Hai,
Isi Tarah Mere Jeevan Mein Tu Zaroori Hai;
Ye Akal Wale Nahi Ahl-e-Dil Samjhte Hain,
Ki Kyuon Sharab Se Pehle Wuzu Zaroori Hai!
In Mein Kya Farq Hai Ab Is Ka Bhi Ehsaas Nahi;
Dard Aur Dil Ka Zara Dekhiye Yaksan Hona!
*Yaksan: Same
Abad Rahenge Veerane Shadab Rahengi Zanjeeren,
Jab Tak Deewane Zinda Hain Phulengi Phalengi Zanjeeren;
Azadi Ka Darwaza Bhi Khud Hi Kholengi Zanjeeren,
Tukde Tukde Ho Jayengi Jab Had Se Badhengi Zanjeeren!
Sula Kar Tez Dharon Ko Kinaro Tum Na So Jaana,
Ravani Zindagani Hai To Dharo Tum Na So Jaana;
Mujhe Tum Ko Sunani Hai Mukammal Dastan Apni,
Adhuri Dastan Sun Kar Sitaro Tum Na So Jaana!
Jo Teer Bhi Aata Woh Khaali Nahi Jata,
Mayus Mere Dil Se Sawali Nahi Jata;
Kaante Hi Kiya Karte Hain Phoolo Ki Hifazat,
Phoolo Ko Bachane Koi Maali Nahi Aata!
Dard Ho Dil Mein To Dawa Kijiye,
Dil Hi Jab Dard Ho To Kya Kijye;
Hum Ko Fariyad Karni Aati Hai,
Aap Sunte Nahi Tu Kya Kijye!
Roya Karenge Aap Bhi Pehron Isi Tarah,
Aatka Kahin Jo Aapka Dil Bhi Meri Tarah;
Na Aap Hijar Mein Hain Na Aaram Vasal Mein,
Kambakht Dil Ko Chain Nahi Hai Kisi Tarah!
Apni Dhun Mein Rehta Hoon, Main Bhi Tere Jaisa Hoon;
O Pichhle Rutt Ke Sathi, Ab Ke Baras Main Tanha Hoon!
Ye Na Thi Hamari Qismat Ki Visal-e-Yaar Hota,
Agar Aur Jeete Rehte Yahi Intezar Hota;
Tere Vaade Par Jiye Hum To Yeh Jaan Jhoot Jana,
Ki Khushi Se Mar Na Jate Agar Aitbar Hota!
