Kya lutf

Kya lutf jindagi me ho, gar jindagi me tu na ho,
Kya keejiye aise gul ka jisme rang-o-boo na ho.

Intna na tum rulao ke aankho se khoon nikal pade,
Roye ga phir woh khakh jiske dil me lahoo na ho.

Jana hai mujhse door toh yaadon ko kehti ja,
Ke ab wo kabhi mere roo-ba-rooh na ho.

Tere bagair maut ka daman toh tham loon lekin,
dar hai azal bhi jindagi ki hoo-ba-hoo na ho.

Har hasraton ko ai "raman" maine kar diya rukhsat,
Hai aarzoo yehi ki koi aarzoo na ho.

Mumkin hai ki har marz ki khatir tum do dawa hakkim,
Lekin marize ishque ko phir bhi raahat-o-sukoon na ho.
