ham ko manzil ne bhi gumraah kiyaa — Hafeez Hoshiarpuri

aah marg-e-aadmi par aadmi roe bahut
koi bhi royaa na marg-e-aadamiyyat ke liye

tiri talaash mein jab ham kabhi nikalte hain
ik ajnabi ki tarah raaste badalte hain

dosti aam hai lekin ai dost
dost miltaa hai baDi mushkil se

zamaane bhar ke gham yaa ik tiraa gham
ye gham hogaa to kitne gham na honge

agar tu ittifaaqan mil bhi jaae
tiri furqat ke sadme kam na honge

mohabbat karne vaale kam na honge
tiri mahfil mein lekin ham na honge

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

zindagi zor hai ravaani kaa
kyaa thamegaa bahaav paani kaa

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

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