humse bhi gahe gahe mulaqat chahiye

hum se bhi gahe gahe mulaqat chahiye
insan hain sabhi to musawat chahiye
achchha chalo khuda na sahi un ko kya hua
aakhir koi to qazi-e-hajat chahiye


hai aaqibat kharab to duniya hi thik ho
koi to surat-e-guzar-auqat chahiye
jaane palak jhapakne mein kya gul khilae waqt
har dam nazar ba-surat-e-haalat chahiye


aaegi hum ko ras na yak-rangi-e-khala
ahl-e-zamin hain hum hamein din raat chahiye
wa kar diye hain ilm ne dariya-e-marifat
andhon ko ab bhi kashf o karamat chahiye


jab qais ki kahani ab anjum ki dastan
duniya ko dil lagi ke liye baat chahiye
