KHud ko socha hai ki kuchh tanha karun

khud ko socha hai ki kuchh tanha karun
dil se ab mehman ko chalta karun
waqt tak milta nahin apne liye
is qadar masruf hun main kya karun


koi kar tadbir mil baithen kahin
tujh se mil kar dil ka gham halka karun
ab sahi jatin nahin ye ranjishen
khud ko kosun ya unhen kosa karun


kar diya ruswa mujhe tu ne magar
main tujhe duniya mein kyun ruswa karun
ho mayassar jawedani ka safar
khud ko apni zat se minha karun


jang rishton aur ana mein chhid gai
haarne ka hausla paida karun
us ne puchha yaad karti ho mujhe
kya tumhein milne kabhi aaya karun


kah diya main ne guzar jata hai din
raat ki tanhaiyon ka kya karun
dard ne dil mein na chhodi kuchh jagah
tum rahoge ab kahan socha karun


ghar ki chaukhat par main ab bhi baith kar
roz us ka rasta dekha karun
dost mere kho gae jaane kahan
bojh dil ka kis tarah halka karun


jawedan ho jaun shohrat bhi mile
gar usulon ka jo main sauda karun
gar mujhe fursat mile 'shamsa-najam'
to use har waqt main socha karun
