Labz-e-zindagi

Ek zamana tha, bohot aayiash the hum.
Kuchh nahi tha magar khaas the hum.

Apne hi ilaqe ke, chhote mote se
Fakiron se sahi par sartaaj the hum.

Umr badti gayi aur tajurbe bhi,
Jab sab haasil hua toh naaraz the hum.

Shikan mathe par jo nayi khurafaaton ki thi,
Ab silvatein pareshaaniyon ki ban gayi.

Jab unchayion se dekhne lage saare Jahan ko,
Toh Dil se tanha aur nasaaz the hum.
