Shahryar
lo tisvan saal bhi biit gaya
lo baal rupahli hone lage
lo kasa-e-chashm hua khali
lo dil men nahin ab dard koi
ye tiis baras kaise kaate
ye tiis baras kaise guzre
asan saval hai kitna ye!
maalum hai mujh ko ye duniya
kis tarah vajud men aai hai
kis tarah fana hogi ik din
maalum hai mujh ko insan ne
kis tarah se ki takhliq-e-khuda
kis tarah buton ko paida kiya
maalum hai mujh ko main kya huun
kis vaste ab tak zinda huun
ik us ke javab ka ilm nahin
ye tiis baras kaise kaate
haan yaad hai itna men ik din
toffē ke liye roya tha bahut
amman ne mujhe piita tha bahut
haan yaad hai itna main ik din
titli ka taaqub karte hue
ik ped se ja takraya tha
haan itna yaad hai main ik din
nindon ke dayar men sapnon ki
pariyon se lipat kar soya tha
haan itna yaad hai main ik din
ghar valon se apne lad-bhid ke
tod aaya tha sab rishte-nate
haan itna yaad hai main ik din
jab bahut dukhi tha tanha tha
ik jism ki aag men pighla tha
haan ye bhi yaad hai main ik din
sach bol ke pachhtaya tha bahut
apne se bhi sharmaya tha bahut
haan ye bhi yaad hai mujh ko ki main
jab bahut hi be-kal hota tha
ashar bhi likkha karta tha
haan ye bhi yaad hai mujh ko ki main
roti rozi ki tamanna men
bada khvar hua is duniya men
haan aur bhi kuchh hai yaad mujhe
magar is ka javab kahan ye sab
ye tiis baras kaise guzre
ye tiis baras kaise kaate
ab is ke javab se kya hoga
chalo utho ki subh hui dekho
chalo utho ki apna kaam karen
chalo utho ki shahr-e-tamanna men
marham dhunden un zakhmon ka
jo dil ne abhi tak khaae nahin
taabir karen un khvabon ki
jo ankhon ne dikhlae nahin
un lamhon ke hamraz banen
jo ziist men apni aae nahin
chalo tisvan saal bhi biit gaya
chalo mai chalkaen jashn karen
chalo sar ko jhukaen sajde men
is umr-e-faromaya ka safar
aadhe se ziyada khatm hua
