usi ko ham samajh lete hain apnaa saadgi dekho — Mumtaz Ahmad Khan Khushtar

ghubaar-e-zindagi mein lailaa-e-maqsud kyaa maani
vo divaane hain jo is gard ko mahmil samajhte hain

gham-o-karb-o-alam se duur apni zindagi kyuun ho
yahi jiine kaa saamaan hain to phir in mein kami kyuun ho

gham na apnaa na ab khushi apni
yaani duniyaa badal gai apni

kahaan rah jaae thak kar rah-navard-e-gham khudaa jaane
hazaaron manzilein hain manzil-e-aaraam aane tak

jab se fareb-e-zist mein aane lagaa huun main
khud apni mushkilon ko baDhaane lagaa huun main

jis ne ji bhar ke tajalli ko kabhi dekhaa ho
koi aisaa bhi tiri jalva-gah-e-naaz mein hai

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

yuun to maujud apne ghar mein hai
aadmi mustaqil safar mein hai

miri tamannaa hai ab ke tum phir milo to ji bhar ke muskuraaein
ki dekhnaa hai ye raushni kaa safar bahut der baa'd jaa kar

safar mein aise kai marhale bhi aate hain
har ek moD pe kuchh log chhuT jaate hain

khud hi jaane lage the aur khud hi
raasta rok kar khaDe hue hain

zamin ki god mein itnaa sukun thaa 'anjum'
ki jo gayaa vo safar ki thakaan bhuul gayaa
