Koi aziz aaj intekaal farma gaya

Koi aziz aaj intekaal farma gaya,
Gaye' the' uske' janaaze' pe'.

Ghum mein doobe' kai log mile',
Ashkon ki jaise' barsaat ho rahi thi.

Magar kuch yeh bhi keh rahe' the',
Unhone' achi umar guzaar li,
Ab Khuda ne' unhe' saari taqleefon se' azaadi baksh di.

Mera bhi mann kuch mayoos tha,
Unhone' mujhe' naa jaane' kitni duayein bakshi thi.

Mila toh unse' kabhi kabhi tha,
Magar uss buzurg ne' har waqt meri khairiyat ki duayein ki thi.

Hum shayad yeh faisla kar hi nahi paayeinge',
Ke' humein aaj mayoosi ke' lamhe' naseeb hue',
Ya Khuda ke' iss faisle' ko khushi se' kabool karna chahiye'?

Haan yeh zindagi toh aane' jaane' ka doosra naam hai,
Iss haqiqat ko naa chahte' hue' bhi,
Khushi khushi kabool karna chahiye'.
