zindagi ham se chaahti kyaa hai — Ajmal Siraj

ye bhi tai hai ki jo boeinge vo kaaTeinge yahaan
aur ye bhi ki jo khoeinge vahi paaeinge

bas ek shaam kaa har shaam intizaar rahaa
magar vo shaam kisi shaam bhi nahin aai

ab aap khud hi bataaein ye zindagi kyaa hai
karam bhi us ne kiye hain magar sitam jaise

kyaa kahegaa kabhi milne bhi agar aaegaa vo
ab vafaadaari ki qasmein to nahin khaaegaa vo

ye jo ham khoe khoe rahte hain
is mein kuchh dakhl hai tumhaaraa bhi

main ne ai dil tujhe siine se lagaayaa huaa hai
aur tu hai ki miri jaan ko aayaa huaa hai

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

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

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

meri saari zindagi ko be-samar us ne kiyaa
umr meri thi magar us ko basar us ne kiyaa

jiinaa taDap taDap kar marnaa sisak sisak kar
fariyaad ek ji hai kyaa kyaa kharaabiyon mein

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