kaise ajiib dukh the dil men chhupa ke laae
gard-e-safar thi rah men bas ham utha ke laae
har rah-guzar pe us ko rakhna tha yaad so ham
anjan raston men khud ko bhula ke aae
jivan ki dhuup men yuun tanha safar tha apna
sukh sab ko baant daale bas dukh utha ke laae
apne the ya parae lahjon men bas chubhan thi
muskan apne lab par phir bhi saja ke laae
padhta nahin hai koi phir bhi likha hai ham ne
sunta nahin hai koi lekin suna ke aae
is vaste to shah hain miri ruuh jal rahi hai
jivan ki aag men ham khud ko jala ke aae
