jalva be-baak adaa shokh tamaashaa gustaakh — Hafeez Hoshiarpuri

aah marg-e-aadmi par aadmi roe bahut
koi bhi royaa na marg-e-aadamiyyat ke liye

tiri talaash mein jab ham kabhi nikalte hain
ik ajnabi ki tarah raaste badalte hain

ham ko manzil ne bhi gumraah kiyaa
raaste nikle kai manzil se

dosti aam hai lekin ai dost
dost miltaa hai baDi mushkil se

zamaane bhar ke gham yaa ik tiraa gham
ye gham hogaa to kitne gham na honge

mohabbat karne vaale kam na honge
tiri mahfil mein lekin ham na honge

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

maarka garm to ho lene do khun-rezi kaa
pahle shamshir ke niche hamin jaa baiTheinge
