is se pahle ki log pahchaanein — Divakar Rahi

ain-fitrat hai ki jis shaakh pe phal aaeinge
inkisaari se vahi shaakh lachak jaaegi

bahut aasaan hai do ghunT pi lenaa to ai 'raahi'
baDi mushkil se aate hain magar aadaab-e-mai-khaana

sochne ki ye baat hai 'raahi'
sochte hi rahe to kyaa hogaa

ab to utni bhi mayassar nahin mai-khaane mein
jitni ham chhoD diyaa karte the paimaane mein

vaqt barbaad karne vaalon ko
vaqt barbaad kar ke chhoDegaa

abas ilzaam mat do mushkilaat-e-raah ko 'raahi'
tumhaare hi iraade mein kami maalum hoti hai
