Ajmal Ajmali
raste ke pech-o-ḳham kya shai hain socha hi nahin
ham safar par jab se nikle muḌ ke dekha hi nahin
do ghaḌi ruk kar Thahar kar sochte manzil ki baat
raste men koi aisa moḌ aaya hi nahin
zindagi ke saath ham nikle the le kar kitne ḳhvab
zindagi bhi ḳhatm hai mausam badalta hi nahin
ik diya yadon ka tha raushan thi jis se bazm-e-shab
jaane kya guzri kai raton se jalta hi nahin
zindagi bhar pai-ba-pai ham ne kurede apne zaḳhm
ham se chhuT kar us pe kya guzri ye socha hi nahin
aarzu thi khinchte ham bhi koi aks-e-hayat
kya karen ab ke lahu ankhon se Tapka hi nahin
is tarah kaise ho ‘ajmal’ chara-e-dil ki ummid
dard apna aḳhiri had se guzarta hi nahin
