tamaam umr ki divaangi ke baa'd khulaa — Alamtaab Tishna

nafrat bhi usi se hai parastish bhi usi ki
is dil saa koi ham ne to kaafar nahin dekhaa

ham apne ishq ki ab aur kyaa shahaadat dein
hamein hamaare raqibon ne mo'tabar jaanaa

har daur mein rahaa yahi aain-e-munsifi
jo sar na jhuk sake vo qalam kar diye gae

is raah-e-mohabbat mein tu saath agar hotaa
har gaam pe gul khilte khushbu kaa safar hotaa

had ho gai thi ham se mohabbat mein kufr ki
jaise khudaa-na-khvaasta vo laa-sharik thaa

visaal-e-yaar ki khvaahish mein aksar
charaagh-e-shaam se pahle jalaa huun

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

afsos umr kaT gai ranj-o-malaal mein
dekhaa na khvaab mein bhi jo kuchh thaa khayaal mein

umr hi teri guzar jaaegi un ke hal mein
teraa bachcha jo savaalaat liye baiThaa hai

idhar to tuul diyaa hai umiid ko us ne
udhar hayaat ataa ki hai mukhtasar mujh ko
