Mann aaj kuch mayoos sa tha

   Mann aaj kuch mayoos sa tha,

Soch mein dooba tha ab aage' kya hoga?

Waqt ke' khilaaf toh yeh jung kab se' chal rahi hai,

Fikra thi ke' iska anjaam kya hoga?

Khabrein toh hain ke' waqt badal raha hai,

Magar mera woh waqt kab aayega?

Pehele' bhi kai baar iss tarah bebas hokar phir joshila ho gaya tha,

Phir aaj itna bebas kyon ho gaya?

Kamayabi ke' kuch haseen yaadon ne' mujhe' phir joshila banaa diya,

Kyon naa umeed karoon ke' aage' ab toh kamaal hi kamaal hoga?

e

Kyon itni khamoshi hai yahan par?

Kyon itni khamoshi hai yahan par?

Mayoosi ki toh koi wajah nahi hai.

Daur badal raha hai,

Phir aisa mahaul kyon hai?

Bure' din ab khatam hone' hi waale' hain,

Phir bhi saare' itne' mayoos kyon hain?

Aaj jaam ka koi pyaala mere' haath mein nahi hai,

Phir humein aisa kamaal ka nasha kyon hai?

Waise' jab humein zindagi ka asli nasha mil raha hai,

Phir aise' naqli nashe' ki zaroorat kya hai?

Arre' mere' azizon,

Aane' waale' tamam khushiyon ka nasha kya hum sab ke' liye' kaafi nahi hai?
