Ye diya jo timtima raha hai
De gaya hai suragh roshni ka
---------------------------------
sadiyon ki musafaton ney
umarbhar ki kofton ney
thaka diya hai hum ko
ajab hai ghum-e-duniya
taaqab may hai musalsal
her din naya jahad hai
khud se naya ahad hai
duniya-o-maafiha se hut kar
mila karenge khud se
apni khamoshi bhi ab khata hai
tanhaii ka sakut bhi narawa hai
akhir is duniya ko kya hua hai
her karwat lagey saza hai
akhir tum gaye hi kyon they
mere aur zamaane ki darmayaani
wahed deewar tumhi they
ab roz aate hain pathar
ab unke haath ye masghala hai
akela shikaar asaan hogaya hai
chalo chalaao saare teer-o-nashtar
ab hum may khuda bol uthega
mazlum dil ki aah se bhi pehle
rab bekason ka dil thaam lega
daro nadano waqt ke ghazab se
ye kabhi eksaa nahi rahega
is dil ne mar kar bhi di zindagi hai
chot kha kar bhi tamanna yehi ki hai
kaash sitamgaron ko kabhi sakun aaye
ye zakham hi unka madawa ban jaaye
khuda ne azmaishon se hi likhe moqadar
inke baghair abur ho na sake samandar
aye dil jub sab tujhe patta hai
phir kyon ye aah-o-bakaa hai
tujhe yaad ho ke yaad na ho
ye raaaste tune hi chune they
phir shikwa kaisa nashtaron se
jisey tune samjha sitam hai
shaayed wahi kaleed khild ki ho
kya ye sakun ki dawa nahi hai
ke khuda dil may hi kahin hai
vo sab sun raha hai jaanta hai
tutey huye dilon ko wahi thaamta hai
subah shaam usi se guftagu hai
vo kahan nahi hai vo ku ba ku hai
