umr guzregi imtihan mein kya
naya ek rishta paida kyun karen hum
kitne aish se rahte honge kitne itraate honge
be-qarari si be-qarari hai
haalat-e-haal ke sabab haalat-e-haal hi gai
be-dili kya yunhi din guzar jaenge
Thik hai KHud ko hum badalte hain
apne sab yar kaam kar rahe hain
tumhaara hijr mana lun agar ijazat ho
gahe gahe bas ab yahi ho kya
sar hi ab phoDiye nadamat mein
ek hunar hai jo kar gaya hun main
ek hi muzhda subh lati hai
abhi ek shor sa uTha hai kahin
bahut dil ko kushada kar liya kya
sina dahak raha ho to kya chup rahe koi
tum haqiqat nahin ho hasrat ho
baDa ehsan hum farma rahe hain
zabt kar ke hansi ko bhul gaya
aadmi waqt par gaya hoga
kis se izhaar-e-muddaa kije
tu bhi chup hai main bhi chup hun ye kaisi tanhai hai
iza-dahi ki dad jo pata raha hun main
sharmindagi hai hum ko bahut hum mile tumhein
hum to jaise wahan ke the hi nahin
kaam ki baat maine ki hi nahin
uske pahlu se lag ke chalte hain
apna KHaka lagta hun
aap apna ghubar the hum to
aaKHiri bar aah kar li hai
dil jo hai aag laga dun usko
chalo baad-e-bahaari ja rahi hai
ji hi ji mein wo jal rahi hogi
dil ki taklif kam nahin karte
dil ne wafa ke nam par kar-e-wafa nahin kiya
hum ji rahe hain koi bahana kiye baghair
zindagi kya hai ek kahani hai
wo jo tha wo kabhi mila hi nahin
ghar se hum ghar talak gae honge
har dhaDkan haijaani thi har KHamoshi tufani thi
ruh pyasi kahan se aati hai
jo hua jaun wo hua bhi nahin
sare rishte tabah kar aaya
na hua nasib qarar-e-jaan hawas-e-qarar bhi ab nahin
ab kisi se mera hisab nahin
juz guman aur tha hi kya mera
ab wo ghar ek virana tha bas virana zinda tha
aaj lab-e-guhar-fishan aapne wa nahin kiya
tang aaghosh mein aabaad karunga tujhko
abhi farman aaya hai wahan se
kabhi jab muddaton ke baad us ka samna hoga
aish-e-ummid hi se KHatra hai
ai subh main ab kahan raha hun
zaKHm-e-ummid bhar gaya kab ka
hai bikharne ko ye mahfil-e-rang-o-bu tum kahan jaoge hum kahan jaenge
KHub hai shauq ka ye pahlu bhi
hai ajab haal ye zamane ka
hijr ki aankhon se aankhen to milate jaiye
hum aandhiyon ke ban mein kisi karwan ke the
kaam mujhse koi hua hi nahin
kisi se ahd-o-paiman kar na rahiyo
lamhe lamhe ki na-rasai hai
kabhi kabhi to bahut yaad aane lagte ho
zikr bhi us se kya bhala mera
hum kahan aur tum kahan jaanan
hamare zaKHm-e-tamanna purane ho gae hain
jo zindagi bachi hai use mat gawaiye
ajab haalat hamari ho gai hai
aaj bhi tishnagi ki qismat mein
shauq ka rang bujh gaya yaad ke zaKHm bhar gae
apni manzil ka rasta bhejo
baat koi umid ki mujhse nahin kahi gai
ai ku-e-yar tere zamane guzar gae
ek saya mera masiha tha
KHun thukegi zindagi kab tak
yaadon ka hisab rakh raha hun
ganwai kis ki tamanna mein zindagi maine
ye paiham talKH-kaami si rahi kya
hai fasilen uTha raha mujh mein
ai wasl kuchh yahan na hua kuchh nahin hua
nashsha-e-shauq-e-rang mein tujhse judai ki gai
tujhse gile karun tujhe jaanan manaun main
yaad use intihai karte hain
socha hai ki ab kar-e-masiha na karenge
tum se bhi ab to ja chuka hun main
zabt kar ke hansi ko bhul gaya
kab us ka visal chahiye tha
bad-dili mein be-qarari ko qarar aaya to kya
band bahar se meri zat ka dar hai mujh mein
nam hi kya nishan hi kya KHwab-o-KHayal ho gae
