kaam ki baat maine ki hi nahin
kaam kī baat maiñ ne kī hī nahīñ
ye mirā taur-e-zindagī hī nahīñ
ai umiid ai umīd-e-nau-maidāñ
mujh se mayyat tirī uThī hī nahīñ
maiñ jo thā us galī kā mast-e-ḳhirām
us galī meñ mirī chalī hī nahīñ
ye sunā hai ki mere kuuch ke ba.ad
us kī ḳhushbū kahīñ basī hī nahīñ
thī jo ik fāḳhta udaas udaas
sub.h vo shāḳh se uḌī hī nahīñ
mujh meñ ab merā jī nahīñ lagtā
aur sitam ye ki merā jī hī nahīñ
vo jo rahtī thī dil-mohalle meñ
phir vo laḌkī mujhe milī hī nahīñ
jā.iye aur ḳhaak uḌā.iye aap
ab vo ghar kyā ki vo galī hī nahīñ
haa.e vo shauq jo nahīñ thā kabhī
haa.e vo zindagī jo thī hī nahīñ
kaam ki baat main ne ki hi nahin
ye mera taur-e-zindagi hi nahin
ai umid ai umid-e-nau-maidan
mujh se mayyat teri uThi hi nahin
main jo tha us gali ka mast-e-KHiram
us gali mein meri chali hi nahin
ye suna hai ki mere kuch ke baad
us ki KHushbu kahin basi hi nahin
thi jo ek faKHta udas udas
subh wo shaKH se uDi hi nahin
mujh mein ab mera ji nahin lagta
aur sitam ye ki mera ji hi nahin
wo jo rahti thi dil-mohalle mein
phir wo laDki mujhe mili hi nahin
jaiye aur KHak uDaiye aap
ab wo ghar kya ki wo gali hi nahin
hae wo shauq jo nahin tha kabhi
hae wo zindagi jo thi hi nahin
