Zindagi

Zindagi ki talash wo, zindagi ki pyas wo,
wo raahon ka dhuan dhuan,wo bechain kohre sa sama,
koi rah jab na dikhti thi, har sans aake rukti thi,
us pal mein ik tufaan sa mere yaar tum the leke aaye.
sab beh gayi meri khwahishen, aur jag gayi nayi chahtein,
tham gaya tha jyon sama, aur gham ka sagar bhi jama,
raha na kuch berang sa aur chad gaya naya rang sa,
patjhad mein jaise ae yar bahar tum the leke aaye.
zuban se hum thak gaye aur lafz saare ruk gaye,
taarif krne ko sanam nazm-o-gazal bhi jhuk gaye,
muskurahat teri kehkahahat inhi pe hum the lut gaye,
yun zindadil andaz se tum zindagi meri leke aaye.
