Hamesha Kisi Imtihan Mein Raha

hamesha kisi imtihan mein raha

raha bhi to kya is jahan mein raha

na main dur tak sath us ke gaya

na wo der tak ham-rahan mein raha

wo dariya pe mujh ko bulata raha

magar main saf-e-tishnagan mein raha

main bujhne laga to bahut der tak

ujala charag-e-ziyan mein raha

qafas yaad aaya parinde ko phir

bahut roz tak aashiyan mein raha

rahi der tak maut se guftugu

main jab halqa-e-raftagan mein raha

na gul koi dil ke shajar par khila

na koi samar shaKH-e-jaan mein raha

ye KHana hamesha se viran hai

kahan koi dil ke makan mein raha
