duniya jise kahte hain jadu ka khilauna hai

duniya jise kahte hain jaadu ka khilauna hai mil jaae to mitti hai kho jaae to sona hai achchha sa koi mausam tanha sa koi aalam har vaqt ka rona to be-kar ka rona hai barsat ka badal to divana hai kya jaane kis raah se bachna hai kis chhat ko bhigona hai ye vaqt jo tera hai ye vaqt jo mera hai har gaam pe pahra hai phir bhi ise khona hai ghham ho ki khushi donon kuchh duur ke sathi hain phir rasta hi rasta hai hansna hai na rona hai avara-mizaji ne phaila diya angan ko akash ki chadar hai dharti ka bichhauna hai duniya jise kahte hain jadu ka khilauna hai mil jae to mitti hai kho jae to sona hai achchha sa koi mausam tanha sa koi aalam har waqt ka rona to be-kar ka rona hai barsat ka baadal to diwana hai kya jaane kis rah se bachna hai kis chhat ko bhigona hai ye waqt jo tera hai ye waqt jo mera hai har gam pe pahra hai phir bhi ise khona hai gham ho ki khushi donon kuchh dur ke sathi hain phir rasta hi rasta hai hansna hai na rona hai aawara-mizaji ne phaila diya aangan ko aakash ki chadar hai dharti ka bichhauna hai

sansar ki har shai ka itna hi fasana hai

sansar ki har shai ka itna hi fasana hai ik dhund se aana hai ik dhund men jaana hai ye raah kahan se hai ye raah kahan tak hai ye raaz koi raahi samjha hai na jaana hai ik pal ki palak par hai thahri hui ye duniya ik pal ke jhapakne tak har khel suhana hai kya jaane koi kis par kis mod pe kya biite is raah men ai raahi har mod bahana hai ham log khilauna hain ik aise khiladi ka jis ko abhi sadiyon tak ye khel rachana hai sansar ki har shai ka itna hi fasana hai ek dhund se aana hai ek dhund mein jaana hai ye rah kahan se hai ye rah kahan tak hai ye raaz koi rahi samjha hai na jaana hai ek pal ki palak par hai thahri hui ye duniya ek pal ke jhapakne tak har khel suhana hai kya jaane koi kis par kis mod pe kya bite is rah mein ai rahi har mod bahana hai hum log khilauna hain ek aise khiladi ka jis ko abhi sadiyon tak ye khel rachana hai

hamein khabar hai wo mehman ek raat ka hai

hamen khabar hai vo mehman ek raat ka hai hamare paas bhi saman ek raat ka hai safine barson na rakkhenge sahilon pe qadam tumhen guman hai ki tufan ek raat ka hai hai ek shab ki iqamat sara-e-duniya men ye saara khel miri jaan ek raat ka hai khulegi aankh to samjhoge khvab dekha tha ye saara khel miri jaan ek raat ka hai tumhari shaan hamari bisat kya hai yahan shikoh-e-khusrav-e-khaqan ek raat ka hai bas ek shab ka ujala hai us ke daman men ki ye charaghh nigahban ek raat ka hai hamein khabar hai wo mehman ek raat ka hai hamare pas bhi saman ek raat ka hai safine barson na rakkhenge sahilon pe qadam tumhein guman hai ki tufan ek raat ka hai hai ek shab ki iqamat sara-e-duniya mein ye sara khel meri jaan ek raat ka hai khulegi aankh to samjhoge khwab dekha tha ye sara khel meri jaan ek raat ka hai tumhaari shan hamari bisat kya hai yahan shikoh-e-khusraw-e-khaqan ek raat ka hai bas ek shab ka ujala hai us ke daman mein ki ye charagh nigahban ek raat ka hai
