Yu hota to kya hota?

Meri "Nazar" me ye aaya hai,
Jahan me kitna Dard chaya hai,
Har koi dard se sataya hai,
Har rishte me, jazbaato me,
Ehsaaso me, lamhaato me,
Mohobbat me bhi ye samaya hai,
Har taraf dard ka saya hai,
Jaane kon ise laya hai,
Jahan me kitna dard chaya hai,

Kabhi kabhi sochta hu mai,
Dard na hota to kya hota?
Gar yu hota to ye hota,
Zindagi ko zindagi ka naam na aata,
Koi kisi ke kaam na aata,
Khushiyo ko anjaam na aata,
Socha hai kabhi yu hota to kya hota?

Na tha kuch to Dard tha,
Kuch hota bhi to Dard hota,
Naa hua kuch ye thik hai, Kuch hua hota to kya hota?
Bahut hua naa hone ka, Kuch hona bhi khata hota,
Pucha saaqi se kya hota?
Bola, wahi hota jo manzoor-e-khuda hota,
Kitna accha hota gar pata hota,
Ke yu hota to kya hota?
Jo akhsar logo ko Pagal lagta tha,
Aaj pata chala kon tha wo "Ghalib",
Jo har baat pe kehta,
Yu hota to kya hota?

Bahot khoob
