waqif hain be-khudi se na apni khudi se hum
shayad ki be-khabar hain abhi zindagi se hum

baithe hain teri bazm mein kis sadgi se hum
jaise ki aashna hi nahin hain kisi se hum

jo aaj tak hua na kabhi khizr ko nasib
wo kaam le rahe hain abhi gumrahi se hum

ek tere gham se pyar hamein kya hua ai dost
duniya ka gham kharid rahe hain khushi se hum

'mushkil' agarche azm karen pukhtagi ke sath
nazm-e-chaman badal ke rahen aaj hi se hum
