Azmat Abdul Qayyum Khan

manzil pe nazar aa.i bahut duri-e-manzil
be-sakhta aane lage sab rah-numa yaad

raushniyon ke shahar men rah kar
ham andheron se ru-shanas rahe

maut pahron udaas rahti hai
ham agar zindagi se milte hain

gham-e-imroz ka gila kyon ho
husn-e-farda miri nigah men hai

shu.ur-e-zindagi ki raushni men
shab-e-gham bhi sahar se kam nahin hai

ye baat bhi hai ki tu bhi nahin hai ab mera
ye baat bhi hai ki tere siva nahin koi

aabaad mai-kade bhi hain dair-o-haram bhi nahin
lekin na aadmi ko milaa koi aadmi

raushniyon ke shahar mein rah kar
ham andheron se ru-shanaas rahe

manzil pe nazar aai bahut duri-e-manzil
be-saakhta aane lage sab raah-numaa yaad

ab zamaane se aur kyaa maangun
daulat-e-gham bahut ziyaada hai

zindagaani kaa lutf to 'azmat'
sirf tufaan ki panaah mein hai

jo bijliyon ki panaahon mein tum banaa sakte
to is qadar na tumhein khauf-e-aashiyaan hotaa
