kisi lai mein kisi bhi tal mein hum

kisi lai mein kisi bhi tal mein hum
rahe sur mein magar dhamal mein hum
bhale ba-hosh the ya wajd mein the
tujhe bhule nahin har haal mein hum


the garche wajd ke 'alam mein duniya
nahin uljhe tere janjal mein hum
kabhi pahunche tere ba'is sar-e-‘arsh
kabhi pae gae patal mein hum


samajh paya nahin kuchh bhi zamana
rahe kuchh aise haal-o-qal mein hum
hamein samjha gaya aadha adhura
bhale the haalat-e-ikmal mein hum


nahin 'tasnim' mustaqbil hamara
milenge mazi-e-pamal mein hum
