chum lo us hath ko jo hath bik jata na ho

chum lo us hath ko jo hath bik jata na ho
waqt ki sachchaiyan likhne se ghabraata na ho
hadisa ye hai ki meri pyas ne bandhi hai aas
aise baadal se barasna hi jise aata na ho


koi rahi itna bhi bebas nahin hota jise
koi aansu koi jugnu rah dikhlata na ho
is ka imkan hai ki is shahr-e-sarab-o-khwab mein
jis ko pa leta ho insan us ko bhi pata na ho


koi din aisa nahin ai khub-surat zindagi
jab meri aankhon mein tera rup lahraata na ho
dil mein arman le ke chalta ho to mumkin hi nahin
aadmi shishe se ya patthar se takraata na ho


wo koi taswir hai jis mein na ho rang-e-wafa
wo koi manzar hai jo aankhon ko bahlata na ho
ek irada hai junun hai ek safar hai zindagi
hadson se wo dare jina jise aata na ho


aise suraj se to mitti ka diya achchha 'bashir'
aisa suraj jo kisi aangan talak jata na ho
