miri zindagi kaa mahvar yahi soz-o-saaz-e-hasti — Farooq Banspari

sitaaron se shab-e-gham kaa to daaman jagmagaa uThThaa
magar aansu bahaa kar hijr ke maaron ne kyaa paayaa

gham-e-ishq hi ne kaaTi gham-e-ishq ki musibat
isi mauj ne Duboyaa isi mauj ne ubhaaraa

mire naakhudaa na ghabraa ye nazar hai apni apni
tire saamne hai tufaan mire saamne kinaaraa

yaqin mujhe bhi hai vo aaeinge zarur magar
vafaa karegi kahaan tak ki zindagi hi to hai

nadim taarikh-e-fath-e-daanish bas itnaa likh kar tamaam kar de
ki shaatiraan-e-jahaan ne aakhir khud apni chaalon se maat khaai

allaah ke bandon ki hai duniyaa hi niraali
kaanTe koi botaa hai to ugte hain gulistaan

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

zindagi ke bahut qarib na jaa
faasla kuchh to apne dhyaan mein rakh

baDe qalaq ki baat hai ki tum ise na paDh sake
hamaari zindagi to ik khuli hui kitaab thi

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

umr bhar kaun nibhaataa hai ta'alluq itnaa
ai miri jaan ke dushman tujhe allaah rakkhe

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai
