KaheeN misaal-e-gulistaaN yeh zindagi kaa safar

KaheeN misaal-e-gulistaaN yeh zindagi kaa safar
KaheeN hai aatash-e-sozaaN yeh zindagi kaa safar

Kabhi payaami hai baad-e-sumoom-e-sahraa kaa
Kabhi naqeeb-e-bahaaraaN yeh zindagi kaa safar

RawaaN dawaaN haiN musalsal yeh dhaRkanaiN dil ki
Nafas nafas se numaayaaN yeh zindagi kaa safar

Ufuq ke paar nazar jin ki jaa ke Thahri hai
Huwaa hai un ko hi aasaaN yeh zindagi kaa safar

Khamosh raat maiN qurbat ke jaavidaaN lamhe
Banaa sukoot-e-shabistaaN yeh zindagi kaa safar

Chahal pahal hai jahaaN ke nigaar Khaane maiN
Sadaa hai raunaq-e-dauraaN yeh zindagi kaa safar

Guzaari nisf sadi Phool ne gulistaaN maiN
Abhi talak hai ghazal KhwaaN yeh zindagi kaa safar
