ye ek lamhe ki duuri bahut hai mere liye — Ahmad Javaid

ek aansu se kami aa jaaegi
ghaaliban dariyaaon ke iqbaal mein

ajab safar thaa ajab-tar musaafirat meri
zamin shuru hui aur main tamaam huaa

dil se baahar aaj tak ham ne qadam rakkhaa nahin
dekhne mein zaahiraa lagte hain sailaani se ham

duniyaa mire paDos mein aabaad hai magar
meri duaa-salaam nahin us zalil se

sukh ki khaatir dukh mat bech
jaal ke pichhe jaal na Daal

gahvaara-e-safar mein khuli hai hamaari aankh
taamir apne ghar ki hui sang-e-mil se

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

umr bhar kaun nibhaataa hai ta'alluq itnaa
ai miri jaan ke dushman tujhe allaah rakkhe

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

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

is zindagi mein itni faraaghat kise nasib
itnaa na yaad aa ki tujhe bhuul jaaein ham

umr-bhar jis ke liye aankhein rahi hain farsh-e-raah
vo ajal kaa qaasid-e-farkhanda-gaam aa hi gayaa
