Ek Ehsas

ghunudgi si rahi tari umr bhar hum par

ye aarzu hi rahi thoDi der so lete

KHalish mili hai mujhe aur kuchh nahin ab tak

tere KHayal se ai kash dard dho lete

mere azizo mere dosto gawah raho

birah ki raat kaTi aamad-e-sahar na hui

shikasta-pa hi sahi ham-safar raha phir bhi

ummid TuTi kai bar muntashir na hui

hayula kaise badalta hai waqt hairan hun

fareb aur na khae nigah Darta hun

ye zindagi bhi koi zindagi hai pal pal mein

hazar bar sambhalta hun aur marta hun

wo log jin ko musafir-nawaz kahte the

kahan gae ki yahan ajnabi hain sathi bhi

wo saya-dar shajar jo suna tha rah mein hain

sab aandhiyon ne gira Dale ab kahan jaen

ye bojh aur nahin uThta kuchh sabil karo

chalo hansenge kahin baiTh kar zamane par
