tareeka-e-bandagi

Kabi yaad Aye to poochna zra apni khalwat-e- shaam se,

Kisy ishq tha teri

zaat se?

kisy pyar tha tere

naam se?

Zara yaad kar, k wo kon tha?

Jo kabi tujy bhi azeez tha,

Wo jo jee utha tery naam se,

Wo jo marr mita tere naam pay,

Hamen berukhi ka nhi gila,

k yhi wafaon ka ha

sila,

Mgar Aisa jurm tha

konsa?

Gaye hum

dua-o-salam se,

Na kbi visaal ki chaah ki,

na kbi firaaq me

Aah ki,

K mera

tareeka-e-bandagi,

ha juda

tareeka-e-Aam se…
