KHud hamin ko rahaton ke kaif ka chaska na tha
ḳhud hamīñ ko rāhatoñ ke kaif kā chaskā na thā
zindagī kā zahr varna is qadar kaḌvā na thā
us ne tanhā.ī se ghabrā kar pukārā to nahīñ
is se pahle to mirā dil is tarah dhaḌkā na thā
haa.e vo aalam ki un kī bazm meñ bhī baiTh kar
maiñ yahī sochā kiyā maiñ to kabhī tanhā na thā
us ke apne haath ruḳhsāroñ ko sahlāne lage
go ba-zāhir merī bābat us ne kuchh sochā na thā
har taraf khiltī rahīñ kaliyāñ nasīm-e-sub.h se
apnī qismat meñ sabā kā ek bhī jhoñkā na thā
zindagī ai zindagī!! aa do ghaḌī mil kar raheñ
tujh se merā umr-bhar kā to koī jhagḌā na thā
sochte haiñ ab use 'āzād' ham kyā naam deñ
umar kā vo daur dil meñ jab koī saudā na thā
KHud hamin ko rahaton ke kaif ka chaska na tha
zindagi ka zahr warna is qadar kaDwa na tha
us ne tanhai se ghabra kar pukara to nahin
is se pahle to mera dil is tarah dhaDka na tha
hae wo aalam ki un ki bazm mein bhi baiTh kar
main yahi socha kiya main to kabhi tanha na tha
us ke apne hath ruKHsaron ko sahlane lage
go ba-zahir meri babat us ne kuchh socha na tha
har taraf khilti rahin kaliyan nasim-e-subh se
apni qismat mein saba ka ek bhi jhonka na tha
zindagi ai zindagi!! aa do ghaDi mil kar rahen
tujh se mera umr-bhar ka to koi jhagDa na tha
sochte hain ab use 'azad' hum kya nam den
umar ka wo daur dil mein jab koi sauda na tha
