hai afsos ai umr jaane kaa tere — Gulam Yahya Huzur Azimabadi

kahun ki shaikh-e-zamaana huun laaf to ye hai
main apne but kaa barahman huun saaf to ye hai

ishq mein dard se hai hurmat-e-dil
chashm ko aabru hai aansu se

shab-e-hijr mein ek din dekhnaa
agar zindagi hai to mar jaaeinge

kabhi haath bhi aaegaa yaar sach kah
yaa yunhi tu baatein banaataa rahegaa

na tu jaldi kar ai dast-e-junun naaseh ko siine de
bahaar aa pahunchi ab koi Thaharte hain rafu is ke

yaar gar puchhe to kiije kuchh arz
baat par baat kahi jaati hai

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

umr hi teri guzar jaaegi un ke hal mein
teraa bachcha jo savaalaat liye baiThaa hai

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

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

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
