huquq jab yaad aae apne

huquq jab yaad aae apne
ghulam par muskurae apne
bahut janaze the raste mein
qadam bhi hum gin na pae apne


wo kaun si raaz-dariyan thin
ki sae bahar bithae apne
hawa ne aandhi ki shakl le kar
tamam qaidi chhudae apne


ek aur din ki hai aamad aamad
khuda ne mohre sajae apne
khade hain lashon ke darmiyan hum
imam-zamin bandhae apne


kiya hi kya aur zindagi bhar
badan ke nakhre uthae apne
kisi ka dushman nahin tha dariya
bhanwar to hum sath lae apne


yahi to mahfil bigadte hain
jo hain yahan bin-bulae apne
