mana ki zindagi se hamein kuchh mila bhi hai
maanā ki zindagī se hameñ kuchh milā bhī hai
is zindagī ko ham ne bahut kuchh diyā bhī hai
mahsūs ho rahā hai ki tanhā nahīñ huuñ maiñ
shāyad kahīñ qarīb koī dūsrā bhī hai
qātil ne kis safā.ī se dhoī hai āstīñ
us ko ḳhabar nahīñ ki lahū boltā bhī hai
ġharqāb kar diyā thā hameñ nā-ḳhudāoñ ne
vo to kaho ki ek hamārā ḳhudā bhī hai
ho to rahī hai koshish-e-ārā.ish-e-chaman
lekin chaman ġharīb meñ ab kuchh rahā bhī hai
ai qāfile ke logo zarā jāgte raho
sunte haiñ qāfile meñ koī rahnumā bhī hai
ham phir bhī apne chehre na dekheñ to kyā ilaaj
āñkheñ bhī haiñ charāġh bhī hai aa.inā bhī hai
'iqbāl' shukr bhejo ki tum dīda-var nahīñ
dīda-varoñ ko aaj koī pūchhtā bhī hai
mana ki zindagi se hamein kuchh mila bhi hai
is zindagi ko hum ne bahut kuchh diya bhi hai
mahsus ho raha hai ki tanha nahin hun main
shayad kahin qarib koi dusra bhi hai
qatil ne kis safai se dhoi hai aastin
us ko KHabar nahin ki lahu bolta bhi hai
gharqab kar diya tha hamein na-KHudaon ne
wo to kaho ki ek hamara KHuda bhi hai
ho to rahi hai koshish-e-araish-e-chaman
lekin chaman gharib mein ab kuchh raha bhi hai
ai qafile ke logo zara jagte raho
sunte hain qafile mein koi rahnuma bhi hai
hum phir bhi apne chehre na dekhen to kya ilaj
aankhen bhi hain charagh bhi hai aaina bhi hai
'iqbaal' shukr bhejo ki tum dida-war nahin
dida-waron ko aaj koi puchhta bhi hai
