dekhiye kab tak yahi haalat yahi aalam rahe — Mustafa Rahi

allaah tere haath hai khuddaariyon ki laaj
daanista haadsaat se Takraa gayaa huun main

be-khudi mein shaan-e-khuddaari bhi hai
khvaab mein ehsaas-e-bedaari bhi hai

dil dhaDaktaa hai sitaaron kaa yahaan
uf ye duniyaa kis qadar taarik hai

na samjhaa koi asraar-e-mohabbat
jo samjhaa kuchh dil-e-naadaan samjhaa

aadamiyyat kaa zikr kyaa naaseh
aadmi ab kahaan hain saae hain

shaayad hi raas aae mujhe aish-e-marg bhi
'raahi' gham-e-hayaat kaa maaraa huaa huun main

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

unhein apne dil ki khabrein mire dil se mil rahi hain
main jo un se ruuTh jaaun to payaam tak na pahunche

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

dil-e-haris hi apnaa na ho sakaa qaane
vagarna tere karam mein to kuchh kami na rahi

main badalte hue haalaat mein Dhal jaataa huun
dekhne vaale adaakaar samajhte hain mujhe

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh
