Self Made Lougon Ka Almia

Roshni mizajon ka kiya ajab muqadder hai
Zindagi ke rastey mein bichney waley kanton ko
Rah sey hataney mein
Aik aik tinkey sey ashiyan bananey mein
Khushboain bakerney mein
Gulistan sajaney mein
Umer kat detain hain
Or apney hisey ke phool bant detain hain
Kaisi kaisi khwaishon ko qatal kertey jatey hain
Derguzer ke gulshan mein aber ban k rehtein hain
Saber ke samunder mein kashtian chalatey hain

Yeh nahien ke in ko roz-o-shab ki kawish ka
Kuch sila nahien milta
Merney wali ahon ka khoon baha nahien milta
Zindagi ke daman mein jis qadar bhi khushian hain
Sab hi hath atien hai
Sab hi mil bhi jatien hain
Waqt per nahien miltien
Waqt per nahien atien
Yani un ko mehnat ka ajer mil to jata hai
Lakin is tarah jaisey
Qerz ki koi reqm qist qist ho jaey
Asal jo ibarat ho pass-e-nawisht ho jaey
Fasl-e-gul k akhir mein phool un ke khiltey hain
Jin ke sehn mein soorej dair sey nikaltey hain
