Manzil Daraaz-o-dur Hai Aur Hum Mein Dam Nahin

manzil daraaz-o-dur hai aur hum mein dam nahin

hun rail par sawar to dam-o-diram nahin

maidan-e-zindagi mein karen dauD-dhup kiya

hum aise na-tawan hain ki uThta qadam nahin

kya KHub hath panw KHuda ne ata kiye

chalte rahen to hajat KHil-o-KHadam nahin

aghyar kyun daKHil hain bazm-e-surur mein

mana ki yar kam hain par itne to kam nahin

jab tak hai ishq-o-ashiq-o-mashuq mein tamiz

khulta kisi pe raaz-e-hadus-o-qidam nahin

aadam pe mo'tariz hon farishte to kya ajab

chakhi hanuz chashni-e-zahr-e-gham nahin

izhaar-e-haal ka bhi zariya nahin raha

dil itna jal gaya hai ki aankhon mein nam nahin

tu hi nahin hai ramz-e-mohabbat se aashna

warna dayar-e-husn mein rasm-e-sitam nahin

irshad-e-taba ki na agar pairwi kare

naqqashi-e-KHayal majal-e-qalam nahin

sar hi ke bal gae hain sada rahrawan-e-ishq

hairat-zada na ban ki nishan-e-qadam nahin

kaisi talab kahan ki talab kis liye talab

hum hain to wo nahin hai jo wo hai to hum nahin
