Tufail Bismil

"ik bahana hai tujhe yaad kiye jaane ka kab saliqa hai mujhe varna ghazal gaane ka"

"vaqt ke maqtal men ham hain dosto vaqt ik din ham ko bhi kha ja.ega"

"phir se bikhri hai tiri zulf mire shanon par vaqt aaya hai ga.e vaqt ko lauTane ka"

"avaz huun ubhar ke jo sahra men kho ga.i ya zindagi ke bahr men mauj-e-khayal huun"

phir se bikhri hai tiri zulf mire shaanon par
vaqt aayaa hai gae vaqt ko lauTaane kaa

vaqt ke maqtal mein ham hain dosto
vaqt ik din ham ko bhi khaa jaaegaa

ik bahaana hai tujhe yaad kiye jaane kaa
kab saliqa hai mujhe varna ghazal gaane kaa

aavaaz huun ubhar ke jo sahraa mein kho gai
yaa zindagi ke bahr mein mauj-e-khayaal huun
