ye zamin chand sitaron ka badal kaise ho

ye zamin chand sitaron ka badal kaise ho
sochta main bhi bahut kuchh hun amal kaise ho
surat-e-haal badal jati hai ek lamhe mein
aadmi apne iradon mein atal kaise ho


kin darakhton se laga rakkhi hai ummid-e-samar
shakh hi jab na ho sarsabz to phal kaise ho
sochte kuchh hain amal kuchh hai natija kuchh hai
aisi surat mein koi masala hal kaise ho


dard se koi ilaqa na talluq gham se
sirf lafzon ke baratne se ghazal kaise ho
har mulaqat adhuri rahi is uljhan mein
yani izhaar-e-mohabbat mein pahal kaise ho


mere mahbub ka urdu se hai rishta kam-kam
mainun aandi nain punjabi te gal kaise ho
