hum

Tang aa chuke hain kashmakash-e-zindagi se hum.

Thukara na dein jahan ko kahin be-dili se hum

Maayusi-e-maal-e-mohhabat na puchhiye,

Apano se pesh aayen hain begaangi se hum.

Lo aaj hum ne tod diya rishta-e-ummeed.

Lo ab kabhii gila na karenge kisi se hum.

Ubharenge baar baar abhi dil ke val-vale,

Mana ke dab gayen hain gham-e-zindagi se hum.

‘gar zindagi mein mil gayen ittefaq se,

puchhenge apna haal teri bebasi se hum.

Allah re fareb-e-masahiiyat ke aaj tak,

Duniya ke zulm sehate rahe khamoshi se hum.

Hum gham-zada hain, laaye kahan se khushi ke geet,

Denge vahi jo payange is zindagi se hum.
