kaise ajib dukh the dil mein chhupa ke lae
gard-e-safar thi rah mein bas hum utha ke lae

har rah-guzar pe us ko rakhna tha yaad so hum
anjaan raston mein khud ko bhula ke aae

jiwan ki dhup mein yun tanha safar tha apna
sukh sab ko bant dale bas dukh utha ke lae

apne the ya parae lahjon mein bas chubhan thi
muskan apne lab par phir bhi saja ke lae

padhta nahin hai koi phir bhi likha hai hum ne
sunta nahin hai koi lekin suna ke aae

is waste to shah hain meri ruh jal rahi hai
jiwan ki aag mein hum khud ko jala ke aae
