Why do I seek this world?

Mujhe yeh jahaan kyon chahiye?

Jahaan log kishto mein
Apne-aap ko baant dete hai
Aur munaafa dekhte hai ehsaason mein

~ ~

Jahaan kisike chale jaane ka gham
Darwaaza band hone tak rehta hai
Aur khilone banaake yaadon se khela jaata hai

~ ~

Jahaan guldaan ko pheink diya jaata hai
Kyonki murjhaye phool ko dekh kar
Roothe hue darakht ko hansa sakte hai

~ ~

Jahaan parchhaiyeen se hi pataa chalta hai
Ke roshni kaheen jal rahi hai
Koi lau mein pighal raha hai

~ ~

Jahaan paani pyaas ki yaad dilaata hai
Aur jheel ko dekhkar
Keechad se kamal ko ukhaad diya jaata hai

~ ~

Jahaan itne mehfoos mehsoos karte the
Ke khud ki hastee ko daav par lagaa diya
Ab kya karein jab wahaan se nigahban ne hi nazar mod li

~ ~

Jahaan waqt ke guzarne ka andaaza
Aanchal mein chhupe lamhon ke gauhar se maalum kar lete
Agar kuchch moti bewafaai se gir nahin gaye hote

~ ~

Jahaan andhere mein pehchaan ho jaati hai
Aur subah hote hi
Naqaab ka sahara le lete hai

~ ~

Jahaan haath pakadne se pehle
Ungliyaan gin lete hai jaan-ne ke liye
Ke nuksaan tau nahin pohunchega apni lakeeron ko

~ ~

Jahaan zindagi ko naapte hai saanson se
Dil ki dhadkanon se
Jin armaanon ko maar diya hai unka tau hisaab nahin
