kyon chali kaise chali ulti zamane ki hawa kya lahu ek nahin
ek bhai ne kisi bhai ka ghar lut liya

qatl mamta ko kiya nur-e-nazar lut liya
chhin li kanpte honton se jawani ki dua kya lahu ek nahin

aadamiyyat ko numaish mein saja rakkha hai
dharm ko jaise kitabon mein chhupa rakkha hai

jaise ehsas-e-mohabbat hai qayamat ki bala kya lahu ek nahin
azmat-e-amn ka paigham chale the le kar

baada-e-sabr ka bhi jam chale the le kar
shisha-e-zabt to nazuk tha magar tut gaya kya lahu ek nahin

sath diwane chale ek hi manzil ke liye
ek kashti thi rawan ek hi sahil ke liye

maqsad-e-zist magar ja ke kahin dub gaya kya lahu ek nahin
apne hi khun ki barkha mein nahae hai samaj

koi puchhe to dahakte hue shoalon ka mizaj
aag ye kis ne lagai ye makan kis ka jala kya lahu ek nahin

apni laghzish pe nadamat ka sahaara de de
aaj phir amn-o-mohabbat ka kinara de de

kya hua kaise hua yar mere bhul bhi ja kya lahhu ek nahin
