maut ki aarzu mein divaane — Anis Abr

main muskuraataa magar di na ashk ne mohlat
khushi jab ek mili saath gham hazaar mile

'abr' duniyaa ko chhoD jaane kaa
ik bahaana talaash karnaa hai

lafz yuun khaamushi se laDte hain
jis tarah gham hansi se laDte hain

tujh pe jami hain sab ki nazrein
teri nazar mein kaun rahegaa

aaj insaan ko tapte sahraa mein
bahtaa dariyaa talaash karnaa hai

kyuun haath dil se lagaate ho baar baar apnaa
kyaa dil mein ab bhi koi be-nazir rahtaa hai

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

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

bichhaDnaa bhi tumhaaraa jite-ji ki maut hai goyaa
use kyaa khaak lutf-e-zindagi jis se judaa tum ho

zindagi sundar ghazal hai dosto
zindagi ko gungunaanaa chaahiye

phir usi bevafaa pe marte hain
phir vahi zindagi hamaari hai
