jite hain zindagi ko baDi sadgi se hum

jite hain zindagi ko badi sadgi se hum
darte nahin khuda ke 'alawa kisi se hum
kyunkar nibah kar len bhala tirgi se hum
jab faizyab ho gae hain raushni se hum


aaega waqt jab bhi to kar ke dikhaenge
ai aasman bataen tujhe kya abhi se hum
apni ana ko bech ke daulat kamate gar
kaise nazar milate bhala zindagi se hum


shikwa karen to kaise karen ye bataiye
jab dil laga ke baithe hain ek ajnabi se hum
sab se du'a salam hai jab apna barqarar
kyunkar karen gurez batao kisi se hum


be-baat yunhi raat se bigdi hai apni baat
ruthi hai hum se zindagi aur zindagi se hum
jab se suna hai aaj wo tashrif laengi
ghar ko saja ke baithe hain yaron tabhi se hum


'tariq' ye apna shauq hai khidmat adab ki hai
rozi nahin kamate kabhi sha'iri se hum
