tujh se bichhaD ke ham to yahi sochte rahe — Athar Nadir

aadmi kaa amal se rishta hai
kaam aataa nahin nasab kuchh bhi

kis darja mire shahr ki dilkash hai fazaa bhi
maanus har ik chiiz hai miTTi bhi havaa bhi

dekho to har ik rang se miltaa hai miraa rang
socho to har ik baat hai auron se judaa bhi

raat aangan mein chaand utraa thaa
tum mile the ki khvaab dekhaa thaa

gham-gusaari ke liye ab nahin aataa hai koi
zakhm bhar jaane kaa imkaan na huaa thaa so huaa

jo dekhiye to zamaana hai tez-rau kitnaa
tulu-e-subh abhi hai to vaqt-e-shaam abhi

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

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

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

balaa-e-jaan thi jo bazm-e-tamaashaa chhoD di main ne
khushaa ai zindagi khvaabon ki duniyaa chhoD di main ne

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
