safar e dil

Jis kadar yeh jang ladta jaa rahaa hoon main,
Kaun samjhe bas ke jeeta jaa raha hoon main

Marsiya-e-haal-e-dil dohraata jaa raha hoon main
Aur suno tau geet gaata jaa raha hoon main

Jaane kis kis se hamkalaam hota jaa raha hoon main,
Khud apna matlab dhoondta jaa raha hoon main

Is qadar khaayal hain teri nematon se hum
Har nafas ko bas, doharaata jaa rahaa hoon main

Subah e nadaani o shaam e be taaqati sab kat ti chali
Phir wohi kissa-e-adam banaata jaa raha hoon main

Phir bujhi aag e aasmaani, raat aayi baahein khole,
Kuch samajhta kuch samjhaataa  jaa raha hoon main

Dil ko aksar baksh deti hai nematein qismat
Jaane kis gham pe ab muskuraataa jaa raha hoon main

Kya kahaa hai sher tum ne ab ke aai maazoor,
Ibn e mariam ko saans deta jaa raha hoon main
