Ye Roshan Aur Piyari Aankhain

Ye roshan aur piyari aankhain
Zalim khaak mein rul jaingi
God mein lainy wali baanh’ain
Beher-e-fana mein ghul jaingi
Maa’n tum tanha chorr k hum ko
Sheher-e-ajal mein kho jaogi
Bujh jaingi roshan aankhain
Maa’n tum chain se so jaogi
Sheher-e-abad ki ho jaogi
Charagar’on k qaatil jumley
Sunta hun to dukh hota hai
Zabt karo’n to dum ghut’ta hai
Ashk piyu’n tou dil rota hai
Taaq umer se dheeray dheeray
Kitni sham’ain bicharr chuki hain
Tum se pehly taiz hawa se
Kitni aankhain ujarr chuki hain
Lekin ye ghum kaisa ghum hai?
Jis k sog mein chashm-e-falak bhi
Janay kitney roz se num hai
Janey kab tk ro’aingi aankhain
janay kab tk lamhay gin gin
Guzraingy sooli per ye din
Aur phir ik din . . .
Sochta hun to kaanp uthta hun. . .!
