ek lamha jo kaTe dusra phir bhaari hai
ek lamha jo kaTe dūsrā phir bhārī hai
huī ik umr ki apnī tag-o-dau jaarī hai
kah ke ye mujh se ki is shahr meñ ho tum kab se
iiñT sar par kisī ne jaise ki de maarī hai
aur le aa.e ho tum bāteñ ye duniyā bhar kī
apnī bātoñ se yahāñ pahle hī be-zārī hai
koī jis baat se ḳhush hai to ḳhafā dūsrā hai
kuchh bhī kahne meñ kisī se yahī dushvārī hai
saath le leñ ye zarā ḳhud ko to bas chalte haiñ
aur rahne ke nahīñ chalne kī tayyārī hai
daad jab madd-e-muqābil ke suḳhan kī dī aaj
dost kahte haiñ ki matlab kī taraf-dārī hai
ḳhud ko yā dūsroñ ko 'talḳh' pareshāñ na karo
kuchh nahīñ tum ko faqat jiine kī bīmārī hai
ek lamha jo kaTe dusra phir bhaari hai
hui ek umr ki apni tag-o-dau jari hai
kah ke ye mujh se ki is shahr mein ho tum kab se
inT sar par kisi ne jaise ki de mari hai
aur le aae ho tum baaten ye duniya bhar ki
apni baaton se yahan pahle hi be-zari hai
koi jis baat se KHush hai to KHafa dusra hai
kuchh bhi kahne mein kisi se yahi dushwari hai
sath le len ye zara KHud ko to bas chalte hain
aur rahne ke nahin chalne ki tayyari hai
dad jab madd-e-muqabil ke suKHan ki di aaj
dost kahte hain ki matlab ki taraf-dari hai
KHud ko ya dusron ko 'talKH' pareshan na karo
kuchh nahin tum ko faqat jine ki bimari hai
