dil o nigah mein ek raushni si lagti hai
dil o nigāh meñ ik raushnī sī lagtī hai
tumhārī yaad se vābastagī sī lagtī hai
ye kyā sitam hai mahaktī huī bahāroñ meñ
har ek chehre pe pazhmurdagī sī lagtī hai
ye kis ke haath meñ aayā hai daur-e-paimāna
laboñ pe apne baḌī tishnagī sī lagtī hai
ham apne ghar meñ bhī haiñ ab musāfiroñ kī tarah
har ek chiiz yahāñ ajnabī sī lagtī hai
har ek saañs pe pahra hai nā-ḳhudāoñ kā
ye zindagī bhī koī zindagī sī lagtī hai
hazār shauq numāyāñ the jis nazar se kabhī
vahī nigāh baḌī ajnabī sī lagtī hai
'hayāt' kaun sī ab raah iḳhtiyār kareñ
har ek raah baḌī ajnabī sī lagtī hai
dil o nigah mein ek raushni si lagti hai
tumhaari yaad se wabastagi si lagti hai
ye kya sitam hai mahakti hui bahaaron mein
har ek chehre pe pazhmurdagi si lagti hai
ye kis ke hath mein aaya hai daur-e-paimana
labon pe apne baDi tishnagi si lagti hai
hum apne ghar mein bhi hain ab musafiron ki tarah
har ek chiz yahan ajnabi si lagti hai
har ek sans pe pahra hai na-KHudaon ka
ye zindagi bhi koi zindagi si lagti hai
hazar shauq numayan the jis nazar se kabhi
wahi nigah baDi ajnabi si lagti hai
'hayat' kaun si ab rah iKHtiyar karen
har ek rah baDi ajnabi si lagti hai
