Naseeb

Waqt kay kaantay peh thirakhta,
Lamhoon kay kandhoon peh sirakta,
Ajab paheli sa hai naseeb,
Zakham bhi jo, woh he tabeeb,
Phir maan lo chahay khud ka raqeeb,
Ya yeh keh kuch yeh bhi hai budnaseeb,
Jawaab kai thehra lo tum sahi,
Per sawaal bun kay yeh rehta wahi,
Kay laut kay jo aatay ho baar baar,
Raasta hum bhathkay ya tum kartay khabardaar,
Lo ab toh tabdeeli ka bhi chorha intizaar,
Arsa hua na roye phir zaar-o-qataar,
Maan lo humnay bhi mana yehi kissa,
Kay palut palut kar aanay wala ho tum hissa,
Per ajab hai na kay aatay ho ab bhi achanuk,
Saath latay ho phir kuch tum bhayanuk,
Per ab toh uss ki bhi kuch aadut ho gai yoon,
Lugta he naheen waqt guzra bin tum aflatoon,
Larzay na dil-o-dimaagh toh lugta kuch kum,
Woh khushi bhi saraab, jis main ghula na ghum.
