Yours truly

Suno khat zindagani ka hai likha mene
Kese beeti kia bitai kia kuch seekha mene
Kese tordiye dunia se ye naate saarey
Kitna hara kitna gira kia kuch jeeta mene

Dekhunga khuwaab jisdin murda na ho dil kabhi
Dekhe din buray ye pal buray tere bin sabhi
Ay abr phir sharaab phir suroor
Phir hua ye inqshaaf ke na mil sakenge phir kabhi

Kia thay wo bhi pucho kia thi haalat meri
Jaun jesa haal Faiz jesi shaamein meri
Dil murda mera marke na hua zinda
Wapas aati kese jeene ki tamanna meri

Tang is dil se is dunai se zamane se hun
Dil ye murda tha badan zinda rehta kese
Tang is mann se is marz se ab aap se hun
Meri rooh bhi phir nikli aakhir sehti kese

Mere safar is dunia mai tou bura he tha
Suno baatien ab ye tha idhr tou suna nai tha
Acha beta acha dost phir bhi bura he tha
Sabko ache lagte sab bs mujhse ghila he tha

Dunia waja safar pohoncha jald anjaam ko
Jis din maroge milenge us din shaam ko
Mehfil sajayenge cherenge usi baat ko
Aur phir rakhenge gawah isi sharaab ko

Gawah rakhenge hum phir isi sharaab ko
Sun na mat sabaq lena is azaab ko
Suna tha kabhi ke phool khilte raakh mai bhi
Udaas hona na jalke banjao tum raakh jo

Jeene ka umr bhar hosla tha bara mera
Magar hosle se bara mera gham tha thera
Alag maanta tha khudko mai in logon se he
Tou rehke beech inke kia he aakhir banta mera

Qabar sajao ispe aake sab jawaab do
Qala ka meri uraya tha mazaak jo
Maa ko kehna ab shayad mai sukoon mai hun
Aapki dua har pal rehti mere sath jo

Doston yaaron ko bhi kehna phir milenge kabhi
Kisi roz saath bethke na uthenge kabhi
Waade jitne mere ab bhi hein adhure rehte
Jis din mila usdin puray mai karunga sabhi

Ab gumaan ko bhi mere is lagaam para
Qala se meri mene kia he apna naam kara?
Mara akhir jab mai wo bhi yun gum-naam mara
Qarz ada kara leke apni jaan kara

Dil utha sabse chala chor chaar kar
Uthai load ki aur rakhi sur pe taan kar
Mat kar chorde bheek maangi hath bandh kar
Goli chali aankhein band safar anjaam par
