Tu nahin to zindagi aazar hai tere baghair

tu nahin to zindagi aazar hai tere baghair
zindagi zinda-dili par bar hai tere baghair

zindagani se kise inkar hai tere baghair
zindagani hai magar bekar hai tere baghair

aa ki paiham ab ye haal-e-zar hai tere baghair
har-nafas ek tez-rau talwar hai tere baghair

nang ho kyun kar na mere waste duniya meri
zindagi meri mujhe KHud aar hai tere baghair

aa tujhe meri qasam mushkil meri aasan kar
zist ka har marhala dushwar hai tere baghair

puchhte hain log mujh se meri KHamoshi ka haal
be-zabani mein meri guftar hai tere baghair

lamha lamha hai kisi ka be tere suhan-e-ruh
lamhe lamhe se koi bezar hai tere baghair

wasta tujh ko masihai ka teri jald aa
naza ke aalam mein ek bimar hai tere baghair

fasl-e-gul sab ki nazar mein hai magar mere liye
ek KHizan mein aalam-e-gulzar hai tere baghair

ye baja har gul hai wajh-e-zinat-e-gulshan magar
meri duniya-e-nazar mein KHar hai tere baghair

nur se mamur hai har gul ba-sahn-e-bostan
qatra-e-shabnam nazar mein tar hai tere baghair

ye bahaaran ye shabab sabza-e-nau-ras na puchh
bagh kya hai madin-e-zangar hai tere baghair

is faza-e-abr mein ghusl-e-hawai ki qasam
mauja-e-baad-e-saba aazar hai tere baghair

aa ki ye kali ghaTa ab tere gesu ki qasam
ek bala si bar-sar-e-kohsar hai tere baghair
