tumhaarii dost-navaazii me.n gar kamii hotii
zamiin TuuT ke taaro.n pe gir gaii hotii

bahut se log pashemaan ho gae hote
jo baat sach thii agar vo kahii gaii hotii

Khushii ne Thiik kiyaa jo hamase duur-duur rahii
hamaare paas jo aatii to ro pa.Dii hotii

tujhe bhii log hamaarii tarah samajh lete
hamaare jaiso se terii agar dostii hotii

mai.n raushanii ke saraabo.n se to bachaa rahataa
nasiib me.n jo zaraa aur tiiragii hotii

kabhii Khvaabo.n me.n milaa vo to Khayaalo.n me.n kabhii
raah chalate na milaa din ke ujaale me.n kabhii

zindagii hamase to is darjaa taGaaful na barat
ham bhii shaamil the tere chaahanevaalo.n me.n kabhii

jinakaa ham aaj talak paa na sake koii javaab
Khud ko Dhuu.Ndhaa kiye un TalKh savaalo.n me.n kabhii

tho.Dii rusavaaii tumhaarii bhii to hogii yaaro
chhap gae sher hamaare jo risaalo.n me.n kabh

jiinaa azaab kyuu.N hai ye kyaa ho gayaa mujhe
kis shaKhs kii lagii hai bhalaa bad-duaa mujhe

bananaa pa.Daa hai aap hii apanaa Khudaa mujhe
kis kufr kii milii hai bhalaa ye sazaa mujhe

ye kah ke mai.n ne rakkhaa hai har aa_iine kaa dil
agale janam me.n ruup milegaa nayaa mujhe

nikale the dono.n bhes badal kar to kyaa ajab
mai.n Dhuu.NDhataa Khudaa ko phiraa aur Khudaa mujhe

tuu mutama_iin nahi.n to mujhe kab hai aitaraaz
miTTii ko phir se goo.Ndh merii, phir banaa mujhe
