Zindagi khawab-e-pareshaan se zeyada to nahin

Zindagi khawab-e-pareshaan se zeyada to nahin,
Is main tabeer bhi mil jaye yeh waada to nahin,

Baat be’baat ulajhney ki yeh huu kesi hai,
Yeh bataa tera bicharrney ka iraada to nahin,

Kon khushbuu ke peechey geya door talak,
Log saada hain magar itney bhi saada to nahin,

Kis khushi se mujhe bheja hai bata surkh gulaab,
Zulm ka yeh teri jaanib se iraada to nahin,

Bewafa hum hi sahi, khud pe bhi kuch ghaur karo,
Be’rukhi aap ki bhi hadh sey zeyadaa to nahin..!
