sailaab-e-zindagi ke sahaare baDhe chalo — Baqar Mehdi

jaane kin mushkilon se jiite hain
kyaa karein koi mehrbaan na rahaa

ham milein yaa na milein phir bhi kabhi khvaabon mein
muskuraati hui aaeingi hamaari baatein

jaane kyuun un se milte rahte hain
khush vo kyaa honge jab khafaa hi nahin

aisi begaanagi nahin dekhi
ab kisi kaa koi yahaan na rahaa

faasle aise ki ik umr mein tai ho na sakein
qurbatein aisi ki khud mujh mein janam hai us kaa

is shahr mein hai kaun hamaaraa tire sivaa
ye kyaa ki tu bhi apnaa kabhi ham-navaa na ho

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

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

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