Duniya

Duniya meri bala jaane mehengi hai ya sasti hai,
Maut mile to muft na lu hasti ki kya hasti hai.

Aabadi bhi dekhi hai veerane bhi dekhe hai,
Jo ujadey aur phir na base, dil woh niraali basti hai.

Jaan si beek jati ho jiss ek nazar ke badle me,
Aagey marzi grahak ki un daamon se sasti hai.

Jagg suna hai tere bagair aankho ka kya haal hua,
Tab bhi duniya basti thi ab bhi funiya basti hai.

Aansoo the so khushk huye jee umad aata hai,
Dil pe ghata chhayi hai khilti hai na barasti hai.

Dil ka ujadna sahal sahi basna sahal nahi zaalim,
Basti basna khel nahi, bastey bastey basti hai.
