Koi Batlae Ki Ye Turfa Tamasha Kyun Hai

koi batlae ki ye turfa tamasha kyun hai

aadmi bhiD mein rahte hue tanha kyun hai

panw phailae hue gham ka andhera kyun hai

aa gai subh-e-tamanna to phir aisa kyun hai

main to ek zarra-e-nachiz hun aur kuchh bhi nahin

wo jo suraj hai mere nam se jalta kyun hai

tujh ko nisbat hai agar nam-e-barahim se kuchh

aag ko phul samajh aag se Darta kyun hai

kaun sa ahd hai jis ahd mein hum jite hain

dasht to dasht hai dariya yahan pyasa kyun hai

pi ke bahkega to ruswai-e-mahfil hogi

wo jo kam-zarf hai maiKHane mein aaya kyun hai

koi aaseb hai ya sirf nigahon ka fareb

ek saya mujhe har su nazar aata kyun hai

yaad kis ki mah-o-KHurshid liye aai hai

shab-e-tarik mein aaj itna ujala kyun hai

bad-hawasi ka ye aalam kabhi pahle to na tha

hashr se pahle hi ye hashr sa barpa kyun hai
