ye bhi koi zindagi mein zindagi hai ham-nafas — Aish Meeruthi

meri jannat tiri nigaah-e-karam
mujh se phir jaae ye khudaa na kare

uThaane vaale hamein bazm se zaraa ye dekh
ki TuTtaa hai gharibon kaa aasraa kaise

karun kis kaa gila kahte hue bhi sharm aati hai
raqib afsos apne hi puraane aashnaa nikle

na milne par bhi use 'aish' pyaar kartaa huun
yuun unchaa kar diyaa meaar-e-zindagi main ne

baDhti rahi nigaah bahakte rahe qadam
guzraa hai is tarah bhi zamaana shabaab kaa

aankhon ko tamanna hai khaak-e-dar-e-jaanaan ki
khaak-e-dar-e-har-kucha iksir nahin hoti

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

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

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

agar hayaat hai dekheinge ek din didaar
ki maah-e-eid bhi aakhir hai in mahinon mein
