Sawali
guzar rahe hain barabar tabahiyon ke julus
ye zindagi ke musafir kahan chale jaen
ye ishtihaar ghamon ke alam ki taswiren
ye zindagi hai nahin gard-e-zindagi bhi nahin
jawan umiden fazae-hayat se mayus
tanur sine ka indhan hain wo tamannaen
jali huruf mein ye hadson ki tahriren
ki jin se dil ke andhere mein kuchh kami bhi nahin
ye aadmi hain nahin bebasi ki taqriren
bapa hai hashr magar aankh dekhti bhi nahin
guzar rahe the wo hasti ke mujriman-e-azal
qadam baDhae hue main kahan chala aaya
jinhen bahisht ki rahat bhi sazgar na thi
sulagti pani mein suraj ki lash wo Dubi
wo zindagi ke musafir wo ham-rahan-e-ajal
faza mein phail gaya tirgi ka sarmaya
guzar gae ki unhen maut nagawar na thi
falak pe jagi sitaron ki shan-e-mahbubi
wo rahguzar mere dil ki rahguzar na thi
ubal paDe meri aankhon se gham ke aansu bhi
sukut-e-shab hai kamal-e-sukun hai paida
ye chahta hun yunhi be-sabab chala jaun
sukun-e-shab se ye dil mein KHayal aata hai
wo zindagi hai kahan jis ko sath le jaun
wo zindagi hai kahan jis ko sath le jaun
