meri zindgi bhi meri nahiN ye hazaar Kha’nooN meiN baT ga’ee
mujhay aik mutthe zameen day ye zameeN kitn1 simaT ga’ee
teri yaad aa’ee tu chup rahooN zara chup rahooN tu ghazal k’hooN
ye ajeeb aag ki bail thi meray tan’badaN say lipaT ga’ee
mujhay likhnay wala likhay b kia mujhay paRhnay wala paRhay b kia
jahaaN tera naam likha gay’a wahiN rooshna’ee ulaT ga’ee
na koi KHushee na malaal hai k sabhi ka aik sa haal hay
teray sukh k din bhi guzar ga’ey meri Gham ki raat bhi kaT ga’ee
meri band palkooN pay TooT ker koi phool raat bikher gya
mujhay siskiuN nay jaga de’a meri kachee neeNd ucha’eT ga’ee
mujhay aik mutthe zameen day ye zameeN kitn1 simaT ga’ee
