jivan ko dukh dukh ko aag aur aag ko paani kahte bachche lekin soe hue the kis se kahani kahte

ajab talash-e-musalsal ka ikhtitam hua husul-e-rizq hua bhi to zer-e-dam hua tha intizar manaenge mil ke divali na tum hi

bahar bhi ab andar jaisa sannata hai dariya ke us paar bhi gahra sannata hai shor thame to shayad sadiyan

ye aur baat ki rang-e-bahar kam hoga nai ruton men darakhton ka baar kam hoga taalluqat men aai hai bas

vo kuchh gahri soch men aise duub gaya hai baithe baithe nadi kinare duub gaya hai aaj ki raat na

kitne hi ped khauf-e-khizan se ujad gae kuchh barg-e-sabz vaqt se pahle hi jhad gae kuchh andhiyan bhi apni muavin

milan ki saaat ko is tarah se amar kiya hai tumhari yadon ke saath tanha safar kiya hai suna hai

ye qarz to mera hai chukaega koi aur dukh mujh ko hai aur niir bahaega koi aur kya phir yunhi

vo mere haal pe roya bhi muskuraya bhi ajiib shakhs hai apna bhi hai paraya bhi ye intizar sahar ka

ho jaegi jab tum se shanasai zara aur badh jaegi shayad miri tanhai zara aur kyuun khul gae logon pe
