Maut Se Yari Na Thi Hasti Se Be-zari Na Thi

maut se yari na thi hasti se be-zari na thi

us safar par chal diye hum jis ki tayyari na thi

hum usi ki KHak se uTThe hain kundan ban ke aaj

dosto jis shahar mein rasm-e-wafadari na thi

hum ne KHun-e-arzu de kar munaqqash kar diya

warna diwar-e-talab par aisi gul-kari na thi

mar gae sar phoD ke diwar-e-zindan se asir

zindagi kunj-e-qafas mein maut se pyari na thi

ab shikast-e-arzu hai bais-e-taskin-e-dil

is se pahle to kabhi ye kaifiyat tari na thi

jal raha hai har nafs ab apne gham ki aanch se

sans lene mein kabhi 'mohsin' ye dushwari na thi
