Ek Khula Maidan Tamasha-gah Ke Us Par Hai

ek khula maidan tamasha-gah ke us par hai

jis mein har raqqas ka ek aaina tayyar hai

ret ke zariye hamari manzilen aur un ki hum

pas yahan samt-e-safar ka jaanna be-kar hai

raat aur tufan-e-abr-o-baad mere har taraf

dur lau deti hui ek mashal-e-ruKHsar hai

phir kabhi uTThe to mil lenge na itne dukh uTha

maut se hota hua ek rasta hamwar hai

is tarah bab-e-nasihat khol kar baiThe hain log

jaise KHair o shar ka duniya mein koi mear hai

lahr wo aai ki hum hain aur nasheb-e-gumrahi

gham ke aage band ab ke bandhna dushwar hai

silsila aawaz ka dekho ki KHoshe sarsarae

phir khanak hai dhat ki phir sanp ki phunkar hai
