Itna to zindagi mein kisi ke khalal pade
hansane se ho sukun na rone se kal pade
jis tarah hans raha hun main pi-pi ke ashk-e-gam
yun dusara hanse to kaleja nikal pade
ek tum ke tum ko fikr-e-nasheb-o-faraz hai
ek hum ke chal pade to baharahal chal pade
muddat ke bad us ne jo ke lutf ke nigah
jee khush to ho gaya magar aansu nikal pade
saqi sabhi ko hai gam-e-tashnalabi magar
may hai usi ke naam pe jis ke ubal pade.

Yahi halat ibtada se rahe
log hum se khafa khafa se rahe
bevafa tum kabhi na the lekin
ye bhi sach hai ki bevafa se rahe
in chiragon mein tel hi kam tha
kyon gila phir hamen hawa se rahe
bahas, shatranj sher mausiqi
tum nahi rahe to ye dilase rahe
usake bandon ko dekhakar kahiye
hamako umeed kya khuda se rahe
zindagi ke sharab mangate ho
hum ko dekho ki pi ke pyase rahe.

Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayal aata hai
ke zindagi teri zulfon ke narm chaon mein
guzarne pati to shadab ho bhi sakati thi
ye tirgi jo meri zist ka muqaddar hai
teri nazar ke shuaon mein kho bhi sakati thi
ajab na tha ke main begana-e-alam ho kar
tere jamal ke ranaiyon mein kho rehta
tera gudaz badan teri nim-bar aankhen
inhin hasin fasanon mein maho rehta
pukaratin mujhe jab talkhiyan zamane ke
tere labon se halawat ke ghunt pi leta
hayat chikhati phirati barahana-sar, aur main
ghaneri zulfon ke saye mein chup ke jee leta
magar ye ho na saka aur ab ye aalam hai
ke tu nahin, tera gam, teri justaju bhi nahi
guzar rahi hai kuch is tarah zindahi jaise
ise kisi ke sahare ke aarzoo bhi nahi
zamane bhar ke dukhon ko laga chuka hun gale
guzar raha hun kuch anjani guzargahon se
muhib saye meri simt badate aate hain
hayat-o-maut ke purhaul kharazaron se
na koi jada na manzil na roshani ka surag
bhatak rahi hai khalaon mein zindagi meri
inhin khalaon mein reh jaunga kabhi khokar
main janata hun meri ham-nafas magar yun hi
kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayal aata hai.

Sar pe saya sa dast-e-dua yaad hai
apne aangan mein ik ped tha yaad hai
jis mein apni parindon se tashbih thi
tum ko skul ke wo dua yaad hai
aisa lagata hai har imtahan ke liye
zindagi ko hamara pata yaad hai
maikade mein azan sun ke roya bahut
is sharabi ko dil se khuda yaad hai
main purani haveli ka parda mujhe
kuch kaha yaad hai kuch suna yaad hai.
--
Wo nahi milta mujhe is ka gila apni jagah
us ke mere darmiyan ka fasala apni jagah
dil ki mausam ke nikharane ke liye bechain hai
jam gai hai un ke hothon ke ghata apni jagah
zindagi ke is safar mein sainkadon chehare mile
dil-kashi un ke alag paikar tera apni jagah
tujh se mil kar aane wale kal se nafarat mol li
ab kabhi tujh se na bichadun ye dua apni jagah
kar kabhi tu mere dil ke khvahishon ka ehataram
khvahishon ke bheed aur un ke saza apni jagah
ik musalsal daud mein hai manzilen aur fasale
panv to apni jagah hain rasta apni jagah.
