koi puchhe to na kahna ki abhi zinda hun
koī pūchhe to na kahnā ki abhī zinda huuñ
vaqt kī kokh meñ ik lamha-e-ā.inda huuñ
zindagī kitnī hasīñ kitnī baḌī ne.amat hai
aah maiñ huuñ ki use pā ke bhī sharminda huuñ
kyā adā hone ko hai sunnat-e-ibrāhīmī
aag hī aag hai har samt magar zinda huuñ
zindagī tū jo sunegī to hañsī aa.egī
maiñ samajhtā huuñ ki maiñ terā numā.inda huuñ
tez raftār havāoñ ke laboñ se pūchho
harf-e-āḳhir huuñ maiñ ik naġhma-e-pā.inda huuñ
ajnabī jaan ke har shaḳhs guzar jaatā hai
aur sadiyoñ se isī shahr kā bāshinda huuñ
jaane kin tez ujāloñ meñ nahāyā thā kabhī
is qadar saḳht añdheroñ meñ bhī tābinda huuñ
koi puchhe to na kahna ki abhi zinda hun
waqt ki kokh mein ek lamha-e-ainda hun
zindagi kitni hasin kitni baDi neamat hai
aah main hun ki use pa ke bhi sharminda hun
kya ada hone ko hai sunnat-e-ibrahimi
aag hi aag hai har samt magar zinda hun
zindagi tu jo sunegi to hansi aaegi
main samajhta hun ki main tera numainda hun
tez raftar hawaon ke labon se puchho
harf-e-aKHir hun main ek naghma-e-painda hun
ajnabi jaan ke har shaKHs guzar jata hai
aur sadiyon se isi shahr ka bashinda hun
jaane kin tez ujalon mein nahaya tha kabhi
is qadar saKHt andheron mein bhi tabinda hun
