dekheñ mahshar meñ un se kyā Thahre
the vahī but vahī ḳhudā Thahre
Thahre us dar pe yuuñ to kyā Thahre
ban ke zanjīr-e-be-sadā Thahre
saañs Thahre to dam zarā Thahre
tez āñdhī meñ sham.a kyā Thahre
zindagānī hai ik nafas kā shumār
be-havā ye charāġh kyā Thahre
jis ko tum lā-davā batāte the
tumhīñ us dard kī davā Thahre
ishq kā jurm sahl kaam nahīñ
ki har ik lā.eq-e-sazā Thahre
bīm-o-ummīd kī kashākash meñ
ik do-rāhe pe jaise aa Thahre
rotī āñkheñ jhalak na dekh sakīñ
bahte zaḳhmoñ pe kyā davā Thahre
'ārzū' vo hameñ nasīb kahāñ
kaan tak jā ke jo sadā Thahre
dekhen mahshar mein un se kya Thahre
the wahi but wahi KHuda Thahre
Thahre us dar pe yun to kya Thahre
ban ke zanjir-e-be-sada Thahre
sans Thahre to dam zara Thahre
tez aandhi mein shama kya Thahre
zindagani hai ek nafas ka shumar
be-hawa ye charagh kya Thahre
jis ko tum la-dawa batate the
tumhin us dard ki dawa Thahre
ishq ka jurm sahl kaam nahin
ki har ek laeq-e-saza Thahre
bim-o-ummid ki kashakash mein
ek do-rahe pe jaise aa Thahre
roti aankhen jhalak na dekh sakin
bahte zaKHmon pe kya dawa Thahre
'arzu' wo hamein nasib kahan
kan tak ja ke jo sada Thahre
