ek na ek zulmat se jab wabasta rahna hai to josh
is ka rona nahin kyun tumne kiya dil barbaad
mile jo waqt to ai rah-raw-e-rah-e-iksir
ab ai KHuda inayat-e-beja se faeda
usne wada kiya hai aane ka
har ek kanTe pe surKH kirnen har ek kali mein charagh raushan
tabassum ki saza kitni kaDi hai
wo karen bhi to kin alfaz mein tera shikwa
ab dil ka safina kya ubhre tufan ki hawaen sakin hain
sirf itne ke liye aankhen hamein baKHshi gain
ab tak na KHabar thi mujhe ujDe hue ghar ki
aaDe aaya na koi mushkil mein
wahan se hai meri himmat ki ibtida wallah
shabab-e-rafta ke qadam ki chap sun raha hun main
jitne gada-nawaz the kab ke guzar chuke
