har ek sawal ka dete hain kyun jawab ghalat

har ek sawal ka dete hain kyun jawab ghalat
padha hai bachchon ne shayad sabhi nisab ghalat
hamare ahd-e-wafa ka kahin bhi zikr nahin
moarrikhon ne likhe ab ke sare bab ghalat


tanaben tut ke bikhrin tamam khemon ki
hawa ke rukh ka lagaya gaya hisab ghalat
khayal-e-shauq ki be-chehragi pe kya roen
dilon mein hum ne basae the sare khwab ghalat


ibaadaton ke maraatib buland hon kaise
tere amal mein guna ka hai irtikab ghalat
hum ehtisab-e-amal se gurez-pa hi rahe
na wo ghalat hai na us ka koi itab ghalat


dil-o-dimagh ki basti ujad bhi sakti hai
padhe jo aankh hamari koi kitab ghalat
masafaton ke kade kos sahl kya honge
agar safar mein mile koi ham-rikab ghalat
