kya KHabar thi ek din ye hadisa ho jaega

kyā ḳhabar thī ek din ye hādisa ho jā.egā

umr bhar chāhā jise vo bevafā ho jā.egā

ho agar azm-e-musammam ḳhvāhish-e-manzil ke saath

raah kā patthar bhī ik din rahnumā ho jā.egā

is qadar baḌhne lagī hai har taraf ālūdgī

saañs lenā aadmī kā mas.ala ho jā.egā

zindagī bhar saath chalne kī jo khātā hai qasam

dekhnā vo rāste hī meñ judā ho jā.egā

ab tumhārā koī ḳhat koī ḳhabar miltī nahīñ

aise aalam meñ to jiinā bhī sazā ho jā.egā

sar uThāte haiñ yahāñ bhī asr-e-hāzir ke yazīd

kal ye ḳhitta bhī mahāz-e-karbalā ho jā.egā

kuchh na kuchh 'ejāz' naġhme likh vatan ke naam par

is tarah se shā.irī kā haq adā ho jā.egā

kya KHabar thi ek din ye hadisa ho jaega

umr bhar chaha jise wo bewafa ho jaega

ho agar azm-e-musammam KHwahish-e-manzil ke sath

rah ka patthar bhi ek din rahnuma ho jaega

is qadar baDhne lagi hai har taraf aaludgi

sans lena aadmi ka masala ho jaega

zindagi bhar sath chalne ki jo khata hai qasam

dekhna wo raste hi mein juda ho jaega

ab tumhaara koi KHat koi KHabar milti nahin

aise aalam mein to jina bhi saza ho jaega

sar uThate hain yahan bhi asr-e-hazir ke yazid

kal ye KHitta bhi mahaz-e-karbala ho jaega

kuchh na kuchh 'ejaz' naghme likh watan ke nam par

is tarah se shairi ka haq ada ho jaega
