qadam insaan kaa raah-e-dahar men tharraa hii jaataa hai - Josh Malihabadi

qadam insaan kaa raah-e-dahar men tharraa hii jaataa hai

chale kitanaa hii koii bachake thokar khaa hii jaataa hai

nazar ho Khvaah kitanii hii haqaaiq-aashnaa phir bhii

hujuum-e-kashmakash men aadamii ghabaraa hii jaataa hai

Khilaaf-e-masalehat main bhii samajhataa huun magar naaseh

vo aate hain to chehare par tahayyur aa hii jaataa hai

havaayen zor kitanaa hii lagaayen aandhiyaan banakar

magar jo ghir ke aataa hai vo baadal chhaa hii jaataa hai

shikaayat kyon ise kahate ho ye fitarat hai insaan kii

musiibat men Khayaal-e-aish-e-raftaa aa hii jaataa hai

samajhatii hain ma'al-e-gul magar kyaa zor-e-fitarat hai

sahar hote hii kaliyon ko tabassum aa hii jaataa hai
