Aag ho to jalne mein der kitni lagti hai

Farhat Abbas Shah ...

aag ho to jalne mein der kitni lagti hai
barf ke pighalne mein der kitni lagti hai

chaahe koi ruk jaaye chaahe koi rah jaaye
qaafilon ko chalane mein der kitni lagti hai

chaahe koi jaisaa bhi humsafar ho sadiyon se
raastaa badalne mein der kitni lagti hai

ye to vaqt ke bas mein hai ke kitni mohalat de
varnaa bakht dhakne mein der kitai lagti hai

mom ka badan lekar dhuup mein nikal aanaa
aur phir pighalne mein der kitni lagti hai

soch ki zaminon mein raaste judaa hon to
duur jaa nikalne mein der kitni lagti hai

Another one of his is ..

Maine dekha dewaanon ko shaam ke baad.

yaad kare jab mujh ko teri tanhaai
dekha karna guldaanon ko shaam ke baad
