Raqim Lakhnavi

kabhi un ko milti nahin koi manzil
badalte hain jo har qadam par irade

ai chashm-e-iltifat ke maare hue sambhal
ye husn-e-ittifaq hai husn-e-nazar nahin

un ke liye uTha.in tabassum ki zahmaten
lena paDa khushi ka sahara kabhi kabhi

sarf-e-sujud kar ke jabin-e-nazar ko main
me.araj de raha huun tire sang-e-dar ko main

dam bhar agar nasib ho fursat to ponchh lo
peshaniyon pe gard-e-safar hai musafiro

un ke liye uThaain tabassum ki zahmatein
lenaa paDaa khushi kaa sahaaraa kabhi kabhi

sarf-e-sujud kar ke jabin-e-nazar ko main
mearaaj de rahaa huun tire sang-e-dar ko main

dam bhar agar nasib ho fursat to ponchh lo
peshaaniyon pe gard-e-safar hai musaafiro

kabhi un ko milti nahin koi manzil
badalte hain jo har qadam par iraade

ai chashm-e-iltifaat ke maare hue sambhal
ye husn-e-ittifaaq hai husn-e-nazar nahin
