tum jafaa par bhi to nahin qaaem — Abdul Mannan Bedil Azimabadi

aql kahti hai na jaa kucha-e-qaatil ki taraf
sarfaroshi ki havas kahti hai chal kyaa hogaa

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

zindagi tu bhi hamein vaise hi ik roz guzaar
jis tarah ham tujhe barson se guzaare hue hain

bas ek pal ki tamannaa-e-vasl ki khaatir
tamaam 'umr lagaa di gai sanvarne mein

balaa-e-jaan thi jo bazm-e-tamaashaa chhoD di main ne
khushaa ai zindagi khvaabon ki duniyaa chhoD di main ne

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

umr bhar yaad rahaa apni vafaaon ki tarah
ek vo ahd jise aap ne puuraa na kiyaa
