Humein rehne do Sapno ki Shaa’ira

E Zindagi

Humein rehne do Sapno ki Shaa’ira

Nahi bannaa humme Dard-e-dil ki Shaa’ira

Maana ki raat ke andhere mein hain khubsurati

Lekin din ke ujaale mein hain khubsurati aur saraahat bhi 

Manzil nazar aati hain 

Raaha dikh ti hai

Lekin raat me to apne aap ko bhi dhoond nahi paate

Aur mushkil se jab hum khud ko khoj ke le aate hai

Suraj ki roshni ke or 

To phir se e zindagi 

Tu hume kyu phir se dhakel deti hai

Raat ke andhere mein

Maana ke har waqt humaari saahasta humein 

Tariikii mein gharq hone nahi deti 

Raat humaari roshni-e-umeed ko nikal nahi paati 

Raat ke saath guzaara karne sikhaati hai

Aur andhere se pasaar hote hote

hum aur mustahkam ban jaate hai 

Zalim-e-duniya ko muqabil kar sakte hai

Lekin e Zindagi 

Din ke ujaale mein

Hum to phoolon se baat karte hain

Hava ke saath udh jaate hai

Samandar ki moujein mein behek jaate hein 

Baarish mein jhoom jaate hai

Sharaarat karte hain

Khwaab dekh te hain

Zalim-e-duniya ko ulfat-e-duniya ki nazaryein se dekhte hein 

Aur hum Ziyaa-gustar ban jaate hain

To phir tu kyu humme nahi rehne deti apne Suraj ke paas 

Uski kirnon se hum likhte rahenge Khwaabon ki nazme 

Kyu humein siyahii mein baar baar daal deti hai 

Nahi pakadni humme gham-e-tīra-shab ki mahroom kalam 

Malum hai humme ki humaari shabdo ki gehrai aur

 ‘Amiiq-e-qalb ki roohani izhaar 

‘Aalam-e-asfal ki bay ronaq fiza se waqif hai 

  Uski intehaan se pasaar hoke yeh alfaaz ke gul khile hain

Lekin E Zindagi

Raat ko paar karte karte 

Dil ko judte judte 

Saalon guzar jaate hai 

Aur Din ka ujaala jab barso ke baad nazar aata hai

To pal do pal me phir se tu khushiya cheen leti hai

Kuch samay to humme rehne do idhar 

Din ke ujaale mein tehrne do 

Theek se saans lene do

Hum to Rumi-e-Shams ke jagat mein hi khush hai

Mat le jao humein Rumi-e-baghair-Shams ke jahaan mein

E Zindagi

Humein rehne do Sapno ki Shaa’ira

Nahi bannaa humme Dard-e-dil ki Shaa’ira
