Jo Bhi Kuchh Taq-e-KHayalat Pe Rah Jate Hain

jo bhi kuchh taq-e-KHayalat pe rah jate hain

zist ke KHeme usi baat pe rah jate hain

sham-e-saat ne bahut aks tarasha lekin

kuchh hayule dar-e-zulmat pe rah jate hain

dil ne to lashkar-e-shadab sambhaala hai magar

KHar-o-KHas phir bhi makanat pe rah jate hain

tishnagi aisi ki dariya ka lahu pi kar bhi

sabr ke qarz mukafat pe rah jate hain

raqs-e-nahid sar-e-shaKH tamasha na hua

aaine hosh ke jab hath pe rah jate hain

kab talak sina-e-sad-chaak ka matam hoga

sab ruke tesha-e-haalat pe rah jate hain

kaise tariKH bane koi hikayat 'amir'

hashiye aaj bhi safhat pe rah jate hain
