ik khalish ko haasil-e-umr-e-ravaan rahne diyaa — Adeeb Saharanpuri

yahi mahr o maah o anjum ko gila hai mujh se yaa-rab
ki unhein bhi chain miltaa jo mujhe qaraar hotaa

hazaar baar iraada kiye baghair bhi ham
chale hain uTh ke to aksar gae usi ki taraf

manzilein na bhuleinge raah-rau bhaTakne se
shauq ko ta'alluq hi kab hai paanv thakne se

apne apne hauslon apni talab ki baat hai
chun liyaa ham ne unhein saaraa jahaan rahne diyaa

baandh kar ahd-e-vafaa koi gayaa hai mujh se
ai miri umr-e-ravaan aur zaraa aahista

raahat ki justuju mein khushi ki talaash mein
gham paalti hai umr-e-gurezaan nae nae

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

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

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

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

jigar mein dard to hai dil mein iztiraab to hai
tumhaare gham mein miri zindagi kharaab to hai
