uThaa tu jaa bhi chukaa thaa ajiib mehmaan thaa — Muneer Niyazi

royaa thaa kaun kaun mujhe kuchh khabar nahin
main us ghaDi vatan se kai miil duur thaa

aao tum hi karo masihaai
ab bahalti nahin hai tanhaai

meri saari zindagi ko be-samar us ne kiyaa
umr meri thi magar us ko basar us ne kiyaa

— Muneer Niyazi

sukhan mein sahl nahin jaan nikaal kar rakhnaa
ye zindagi hai hamaari sambhaal kar rakhnaa

— Muneer Niyazi

jis ko milnaa nahin phir us se mohabbat kaisi
sochtaa jaaun magar dil mein basaae jaaun

— Muneer Niyazi

tum ham-safar hue to hui zindagi aziiz
mujh mein to zindagi kaa koi hausla na thaa

— Muneer Niyazi

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

ye aansu ponchh lijiye aur muskuraaiye
chaara nahin hai koi bhi rukhsat kiye baghair

aarzu ke maatam mein sogvaar hasti hai
