safar-e-zindagi nahin aasan
safar-e-zindagī nahīñ āsāñ
har taraf raah meñ haiñ sañg-e-girāñ
duur ho jaa.eñ dukh zamāne ke
sāhab-e-dard ho agar insāñ
sochnā paḌ gayā zamāne ko
miT ke bhī ham na jab hue arzāñ
tū ise tanz kyuuñ samajhtā hai
maiñ to hālāt kar rahā huuñ bayāñ
jī rahā huuñ kuchh is tarah jaise
aag lag jaa.e aur ho na dhuāñ
tū mirī baat kā javāb na de
maiñ samajhtā huuñ ḳhāmushī kī zabāñ
nukta-chīnī hasad dil-āzārī
aur kyā hai matā-e-be-hunarāñ
mujh ko us ko talāsh hai 'rif.at'
jo mire dil meñ hai kahīñ pinhāñ
safar-e-zindagi nahin aasan
har taraf rah mein hain sang-e-giran
dur ho jaen dukh zamane ke
sahab-e-dard ho agar insan
sochna paD gaya zamane ko
miT ke bhi hum na jab hue arzan
tu ise tanz kyun samajhta hai
main to haalat kar raha hun bayan
ji raha hun kuchh is tarah jaise
aag lag jae aur ho na dhuan
tu meri baat ka jawab na de
main samajhta hun KHamushi ki zaban
nukta-chini hasad dil-azari
aur kya hai mata-e-be-hunaran
mujh ko us ko talash hai 'rifat'
jo mere dil mein hai kahin pinhan
