kya KHabar thi yak-ba-yak mahshar bapa ho jaega

kyā ḳhabar thī yak-ba-yak mahshar bapā ho jā.egā

vo zarā sī baat par itnā ḳhafā ho jā.egā

dost hai nārāz hai vo koī dushman to nahīñ

maiñ jo bolūñgā to ḳhud hī bolnā ho jā.egā

kyā huā gar ajnabī kī tarah phirtā huuñ maiñ aaj

kal mujhe ye shahr ḳhud pahchāntā ho jā.egā

sub.h tak aḳhbār kuchh bhūke to rah sakte nahīñ

raat to hone do koī hādisa ho jā.egā

chhāñT de jallād tū qatre hamāre ḳhuun ke

aur bhī kuchh rang-e-maqtal ḳhushnumā ho jā.egā

fikr-e-mustaqbil se kyoñ mar mar ke jiitā hai 'azīz'

hone vaalā hai jo qismat kā likhā ho jā.egā

kya KHabar thi yak-ba-yak mahshar bapa ho jaega

wo zara si baat par itna KHafa ho jaega

dost hai naraaz hai wo koi dushman to nahin

main jo bolunga to KHud hi bolna ho jaega

kya hua gar ajnabi ki tarah phirta hun main aaj

kal mujhe ye shahr KHud pahchanta ho jaega

subh tak aKHbar kuchh bhuke to rah sakte nahin

raat to hone do koi hadisa ho jaega

chhanT de jallad tu qatre hamare KHun ke

aur bhi kuchh rang-e-maqtal KHushnuma ho jaega

fikr-e-mustaqbil se kyon mar mar ke jita hai 'aziz'

hone wala hai jo qismat ka likha ho jaega
