kya irada hai mere yar kahan jata hai

kya irada hai mere yar kahan jata hai
tez itni hai jo raftar kahan jata hai
teri manzil to kisi aur taraf hai aur tu
ai mere qafila-salar kahan jata hai


aa zara der kahin baith ke baaten kar len
chhod bazar ko bazar kahan jata hai
phirta rahta hai mazafat mein tere din-raat
dur ab tera giraftar kahan jata hai


tere chehre ki chamak bol rahi hai khud hi
is qadar ho ke ye tayyar kahan jata hai
pahle mumkin tha magar ab ye nahin hai mumkin
ab mere dil ka ye aazar kahan jata hai


main chhupaun bhi to ye baat kahan chhupti hai
sab ko malum hai bimar kahan jata hai
kar-e-duniya bhi nahin hai ye faqiri bhi nahin
be-niyaz-e-kam-o-bisyar kahan jata hai


ye tere chalne ka andaz nahin hai bilkul
tera jaana hai pur-asrar kahan jata hai
us ki taqdir mein likkha hai jahan hai wahin ho
kisi jaanib koi kohsar kahan jata hai


hai tujhe dhup mein jalne ka bahut shauq 'hanif'
chhod kar saya-e-diwar kahan jata hai
