be-taalluq zindagi achchhi nahin — Hafeez Jalandhari

ai miri jaan apne ji ke sivaa
kaun teraa hai kaun meraa hai

'hafiz' apni boli mohabbat ki boli
na urdu na hindi na hindostaani

iraade baandhtaa huun sochtaa huun toD detaa huun
kahin aisaa na ho jaae kahin aisaa na ho jaae

doston ko bhi mile dard ki daulat yaa rab
meraa apnaa hi bhalaa ho mujhe manzur nahin

vafaa jis se ki bevafaa ho gayaa
jise but banaayaa khudaa ho gayaa

dekhaa jo khaa ke tiir kamin-gaah ki taraf
apne hi doston se mulaaqaat ho gai

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

bas ek pal ki tamannaa-e-vasl ki khaatir
tamaam 'umr lagaa di gai sanvarne mein

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

balaa-e-jaan thi jo bazm-e-tamaashaa chhoD di main ne
khushaa ai zindagi khvaabon ki duniyaa chhoD di main ne
