Aur Kya Rah Gaya Hai Hone Ko

Aur kya rah gaya hai hone ko,
Ek aansu nahin hai rone ko..

Khwab achchhe rahenge an-dekhe,
Khaak achchhi rahegi sone ko..

Tu kahin baith aur hukm chala,
Hum jo hain tera bojh dhhone ko..

Chashm-e-nam chaar ashk aur idhar,
Daagh ek rah gaya hai dhone ko.. 

Baithne ko jagah nahin milti,
Kya karein odhne-bichhaune ko..

Ye mah o saal chand baaqi hain,
Aur kuchh bhi nahin hai khone ko..

Na-rasaai ka ranj laaye hain,
Tere dil mein kahin samone ko..

Aaj ki raat jaag lo yaaro,
Waqt phir hashr tak hai sone ko..

Yaad bhi teri mit gayi dil se,
Aur kya rah gaya hai hone ko.!!
