Zindagi ruki hai kahan jaakar.....

 

yaad may tumhari ro kar

tasawur may tumhein la kar 

socha hai tadap ke aksar 

zindagi ruki hai kahan ja kar

abhi abhi charagh-e-dil they jalaaye 

abhi saji thi dil ki gum-shuda mehefil

abhi hasrathon ne they fareb khaaye  

abhi tewar waqt ke na they itne qaatil

sada mokhtalif they,perwaz ke zawiye apne

dil ne kaha,duniya shaamil na thi tujh may

tu bheed may duniya ki uljha,uljha hi raha

dil dhundta hi raha tujh ko tujh may

suna tha duniya hai saraaye faani

mokhtasar adam ki hai zindgani 

ye waqfa-e-inayet hi hai itaa-at

jo samjha uski hayaat hai javidani 

ye shajar ye mosam apni hain kahani 

inhi may badalte waqt ki hai nishani 

mumkin hai badal jaaye irada-e-katib 

nizaam-e-hasti hikmat ki hai zu-fishani
