umr bhar paikar-e-ehsas mein Dhaale na gae

'umr bhar paikar-e-ehsas mein dhaale na gae
hum wo wahshi the jo khud se bhi sanbhaale na gae
pattharon ko bhi kahan sahl tha patthar hona
ye bhi hassas the jab tak ki uchhaale na gae


kuchh hawaon mein tapish thi so badan jalne laga
aur phir aisa jala jism ke chhaale na gae
aaina-saz tha wo dhaalta tha aaine
aisa dhaala ki mere 'aks nikale na gae


log khush hote rahe dekh hasin maujon ko
hum samundar the kabhi dil se khangale na gae
raat bhar hum bhi safar karte rahe chand ke sath
dagh kuchh hum pe ubhar aae nikale na gae
