mazi ke KHayalat se rishta nahin mera

mazi ke khayalat se rishta nahin mera
bhuli hui har baat se rishta nahin mera
behosh qadam le ke chale jate hain mujh ko
warna to kharabaat se rishta nahin mera


us daur ke haalat ko bhula nahin ab tak
is daur ke haalat se rishta nahin mera
main apne hi ashkon ka muhafiz hun wagarna
be-waqt ki barsat se rishta nahin mera


wan shad ho har koi yan afsurda nigahen
kuchh aise musawat se rishta nahin mera
main fitna-e-imkan-e-samawat se hairan
duniya ke khurafat se rishta nahin mera


mujh ko meri har ek 'ibaadat se sarokar
lafzon ke sawalat se rishta nahin mera
apnon ka sataya hun 'khayal' aaj bhi lekin
apni hi kisi zat se rishta nahin mera
