ادب اردو

Nazar heraan, dil veeran, mera jee nahin lagta,

Bichar ke tum se meri jaan, mera jee nahin lagta,

Koi bhi to nahin hai jo, pukare raah main mujh ko,

Hoon mein be-naam ik insaan, mera jee nahin lagta,

Hai aik inbwa qadmon ka rawaa’n in shahrahon per,

Nahin meri koi pehchaan, mera jee nahin lagta,

Jahan milte they hum tum aur jahan mil kar bicharte they,

Na woh dar hai, na woh dalaa’n, mera jee nahin lagta,

Hon pehchane huye chehre to jee ko aas rehti hai,

Hon chehre hijar ke anjaan, mera jee nahin lagta,

Yeh saara sheher ik dasht-e-hajoom be-niazi hai,

Yahan ka shor hai veeraan, mera jee nahin lagta,

Woh aalam hai ke jese mein koi hum’naam hoon apna,

Na hir’maan hai na woh darmaan, mera jee nahin lagta,

Kahin sar hai kahin sauda, kahin wehshat kahin sehra,

Kahin main hoon, kahin samaan, mera jee nahin lagta,

Mere hi sheher mein, mere mohahalley mein, mere ghar mein,

Bula lo tum mehmaan, mera jee nahin lagta

Main tum ko bhool jaon, bhoolne ka dukh na bhoolon ga,

Nahin hai khail yeh asaaan, mera jee nahin lagta,

Koi paimaa’n pura ho nahin sakta magar phir bhi,

Karo taaza koi paimaa’n, mera jee nahin lagta,

Kuch aesa hai ke jese mein yahan hoon aik zindgani,

Hain saare log zindaa’n baan’n, mera jee nahin lagta..
