tar-ba-tar ho kar rahein taa-zindagi — Chandrakant Rawat

musibat sar pe munh baae khaDi hai
tujhe ai dil mohabbat ki paDi hai

kaam ko imaan se anjaam detaa chal bashar
jaane kis surat mein teraa mehnataana aaegaa

ai mire dost ek muddat se
chaand dekhaa nahin teri chhat se

apni samjhe the magar nikli paraai zindagi
jaane kis miTTi ki thi qaabu na aai zindagi

vo zulfein vo nazrein vo jumbish labon ki
vo sab un ke hathiyaar kaam aa rahe hain

mohabbat chaahiye to kar mohabbat
mohabbat dar mohabbat dar mohabbat

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

intizaar aur dastakon ke darmiyaan kaTti hai umr
itni aasaani se to baab-e-hunar khultaa nahin

zindagi sundar ghazal hai dosto
zindagi ko gungunaanaa chaahiye
