jhunjhlaaye haiN, lajaaye haiN phir muskuraaye haiN

jhunjhlaaye haiN, lajaaye haiN phir muskuraaye haiN
kis ehtimaan se ham unheN yaad aaye haiN

ab jaa ke aah karne ke aadaab karne haiN
duniyaa samajh rahii hai ke ham muskuraaye haiN

guzre se mai-kade se taubaa ke baad ham
kuch der to aadatan bhii qadam laRkhaRaaye haiN

ai josh-e-giriyaa dekh na karnaa Khajil mujhe
aaNkheN merii zaruur haiN, aaNsuu paraaye haiN


ai maut, ai bahisht-e-sukuuN aa khush’aamde
ham zindagii meN pehle-pehal muskuraaye haiN


jitnii bhii mai-kade meN hai saaqii pilaa de aaj
ham tashnaa-kaam zuh’d ke sehraa se aaye haiN

insaan jiite jii kare taubaa KhataaoN se
majbuurioN ne kitne farishte banaaye haiN

Kaabe meN Khairiyat to hai hazrat-e-Khumar
ye dair hai janaab yahaaN kaise aaye haiN
