Hai Zindagi Bhi Ajab Aan-Baan Orhe Hu



Hai Zindagi Bhi ‘Ajab Aan-Baan Orhe Hue
Khamosh Jism Men Muztarr Si Jaan Orhe Hue


Har Ek Chehraa Jahaan Kaa Niqaab-Posh Hai, Dost!
Har Ik Badan Hai Koi Jhooti Shaan Orhe Hue


Hai Uske Shahr Kaa Muflis Bhi Kitnaa Daulat-Mand!
Zameen Pe Sotaa Hai Woh, *Aasmaan* Orhe Hue!

Agar Che Dil Ko To Us Par Yaqeen Bhi Aa Jaataa
Magar Yeh ‘Aql Thi Sau Sau Gumaan Orhe Hue


Na Poochh Kaise Kati Us Ke Hijr Men Apni
Thaa Lamha-Lamha Hazaar Imtihaan Orhe Hue


Miraa Libaas Meri Zaat Ki Nishaani Hai
Miloonga Tumko Main *Hindositaan* Orhe Hue


Hai Us Ka Tarz-E-Takallum Bhi Bas! Khudaa Rakhhe!
Har Ek Baat Hai Ik Daastaan Orhe Hue


Jagaao Mat Ise, Soyaa Hai Bas Abhi Khursheed,
Ik ‘Umr Bhar Ke Safar Ki Thakaan Orhe Hue
