jo nek rahon se hum bhi guzar gae hote

jo nek rahon se hum bhi guzar gae hote
khala mein aaj yaqinan ubhar gae hote
tumhaare sath gunahon mein hote shamil to
saza-e-maut se pahle hi mar gae hote


tumhein zamin ki haqiqat ki bhi khabar hoti
bulandiyon se agar tum utar gae hote
shikariyon ki samajhte na sazishen hum to
hamare pankh to kab ke katar gae hote


rais log the mahfil mein aap ki shayad
to hum zalil hi hote agar gae hote
hamare pas na aate to koi baat na thi
jo aa gae the to le kar khabar gae hote


talash-e-rizq mein khate hain dhul shahron ki
hui thi sham 'nazar' hum bhi ghar gae hote
