Kabhi Raste Ko Rote Hain Kabhi Mushkil Ko Rote Hain

Rahbar Jaunpuri

kabhi raste ko rote hain kabhi mushkil ko rote hain

jo nakame safar hote hain vo manzil ko rote hain

zara andaz to dekhe koi in dil-figaron ka

palaTte hain varaq maazi ka mustaqbil ko rote hain

ḳhudaya kis qadar nadan hain ye kashtiyan vaale

samundar par nazar rakhte hain aur sahil ko rote hain

badal diin inqilab-e-vaqt ne qadren zamane ki

sajate the jo ḳhud mahfil vo ab mahfil ko rote hain

guzarti hai isi aalam men ‘rahbar’ zindagi apni

kabhi dil ham ko rota hai kabhi ham dil ko rote hain
