Kahan sai Laoon

bilaktee rooti karhati hoee iss duniya mai
tumhee bataoo khushioon bharay jazbat kahan sai laoon

jaa baja bhook aur iflaas ki soorat mai qazaa phirtee hai
hansna chahtee hoon magar hansnay kai halaat kahan sai laaon

soona soona sa lagta hai zamana saara
roshan roshan sai voh din raat kahan sai laaon

bain karta hai koee dil kai neha khanoo'n mai
jo mairay dil ko hansaa dai mai voh baat kahan sai laaon

andheri raahon mai maray na jaain dil vaalay
zulm kai jabar mai taaron bharee raat kahan sai laaon

tum yeh chahtay ho shab-o-roz musarrat sai guzaray jaain
tum hee bataao jhontee khushioon ki saughaat kahan sai laaon
