araish-e-khayal bhi ho dilkusha bhi ho
wo dard ab kahan jise ji chahta bhi ho
wo dard ab kahan jise ji chahta bhi ho
ye kya k roz ek sa gam ek si ummid
is ranj-e-bekhumar ki ab inteha bhi ho
is ranj-e-bekhumar ki ab inteha bhi ho
ye kya k ek taur se guzre tamam umr
ji chahta hai ab koi tere siwa bhi ho
ji chahta hai ab koi tere siwa bhi ho
tute kabhi to khwab-e-shab-o-roz ka tilism
itne hujum main koi chehra naya bhi ho
itne hujum main koi chehra naya bhi ho
diwangi-e-shauq ko ye dhun hai in dinon
ghar bhi ho aur be-dar-o-diwar sa bhi ho
ghar bhi ho aur be-dar-o-diwar sa bhi ho
juz dil koi makan nahi dahar main jahan
rahzan ka khauf bhi na rahe dar khula bhi ho
rahzan ka khauf bhi na rahe dar khula bhi ho
har zarra ek mahmil-e-ibrat hai dasht ka
lekin kise dikhaun koi dekhta bhi ho
lekin kise dikhaun koi dekhta bhi ho
har shay pukarti hai pas-e-parda-e-sukut
lekin kise sunaun koi hamnawa bhi ho
lekin kise sunaun koi hamnawa bhi ho
fursat main sun shaguftagi-e-guncha ki sada
ye wo sukhan nahi jo kisi ne kaha bhi ho
ye wo sukhan nahi jo kisi ne kaha bhi ho
baitha hai ek shakhs mere pas der se
koi bhala-sa ho to hamain dekhta bhi ho
koi bhala-sa ho to hamain dekhta bhi ho
bazm-e-sukhan bhi ho sukhan-e-garm k liye
taus bolta ho to jangal hara bhi ho
taus bolta ho to jangal hara bhi ho
