fikr hii thaharii to dil ko fikr-e-Khubaan kyon na ho - Josh Malihabadi

fikr hii thaharii to dil ko fikr-e-Khubaan kyon na ho

Khaak hona ahai to Khaak-e-kuu-e-jaanaan kyon na ho

ziist hai jab mustaqil aavaaraa gardii hii kaa naam

aql vaalo phir tavaaf-e-kuu-e-jaanaan kyon na ho

ik na ik rif'at ke aage sajdaa laazim hai to phir

aadamii mahav-e-sajuud-e-sirr-e-Khubaan kyon na ho

ik na ik zulmat se jab vaabastaa rahanaa hai to "Josh"

zindagii par saayaa-e-zulf-e-pareshaan kyon na ho
