aalam hai tire partav-e-rukh se ye hamaaraa — Mela Ram Wafa

din judaai kaa diyaa vasl ki shab ke badle
lene the ai falak-e-pir ye kab ke badle

itni tauhin na kar meri balaa-noshi ki
saaqiyaa mujh ko na de maap ke paimaane se

kahnaa hi miraa kyaa hai ki main kuchh nahin kahtaa
ye bhi tumhein dhokaa hai ki main kuchh nahin kahtaa

ik baar us ne mujh ko dekhaa thaa muskuraa kar
itni to hai haqiqat baaqi kahaaniyaan hain

go qayaamat se peshtar na hui
tum na aae to kyaa sahar na hui

tum bhi karoge jabr shab o roz is qadar
ham bhi kareinge sabr magar ikhtiyaar tak

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

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

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

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

pyaaso raho na dasht mein baarish ke muntazir
maaro zamin pe paanv ki paani nikal paDe
