Aisa Hai Ki Sab Khwaab Musalsal Nahin Hote

Aisa hai ki sab khwaab musalsal nahin hote,

jo aaj toh hote hain magar kal nahin hote.

Andar ki fazaaon ke karishme bhi ajab hain,

menh toot ke barse bhi toh baadal nahin hote.

Kuchh mushkilein aisi hain ki aasaan nahin hoti,

kuchh aise muamme hain kabhi hal nahin hote.

Shaaistagi-e ghum ke sabab aankhon ke sehraa,

namnaak toh ho jaate hain jal-thal nahin hote.

Kaisi hi talaatum hon magar qulzum-e jaan mein,

kuchh yaad jazeere hain ki ojhal nahin hote.

Ushshaaq ke maanind kayi ehal-e hawas bhi,

paagal toh nazar aate hain paagal nahin hote.

Sab khwaahishen poori hon ‘faraz aisa nahin hai,

jaise kayi ashaar mukammal nahin hote
