Aur Kya Rah Gaya Hai Hone Ko

aur kya rah gaya hai hone ko

ek aansu nahin hai rone ko

KHwab achchhe rahenge an-dekhe

KHak achchhi rahegi sone ko

tu kahin baiTh aur hukm chala

hum jo hain tera bojh Dhone ko

chashm-e-nam chaar ashk aur idhar

dagh ek rah gaya hai dhone ko

baiThne ko jagah nahin milti

kya karen oDhne-bichhaune ko

ye mah o sal chand baqi hain

aur kuchh bhi nahin hai khone ko

na-rasai ka ranj lae hain

tere dil mein kahin samone ko

aaj ki raat jag lo yaro

waqt phir hashr tak hai sone ko

yaad bhi teri miT gai dil se

aur kya rah gaya hai hone ko
