kaisaa chalan hai gardish-e-lail-o-nahaar kaa- Mumtaz Mirza

kaisaa chalan hai gardish-e-lail-o-nahaar kaa

shikavaa har ek ko hai gam-e-rozagaar kaa

tuutii jo aas jal gaye palkon pe sau chiraag

nikharaa kuchh aur rang shab-e-intazaar kaa

is zindagii ii ham se haqiiqat na puuchhiye

ik jabr jis ko naam diyaa ikhtiyaar kaa

ye kaun aa gayaa merii bazm-e-khayaal men

puuchaa mizaaj kisane dil-e-sogavaar kaa

dekho phir aaj ho na jaaye kahiin khuun-e-aitamaad

dekho na tuut jaaye fusuun aitabaar kaa
