kyaa shakhs thaa uDaataa rahaa umr bhar mujhe — Hasan Abbas Raza

dhaDakti qurbaton ke khvaab se jaage to jaanaa
zaraa se vasl ne kitnaa akelaa kar diyaa hai

judaai ki ruton mein suratein dhundlaane lagti hain
so aise mausamon mein aaina dekhaa nahin karte

savaal ye nahin mujh se hai kyuun gurezaan vo
savaal ye hai ki kyuun jism o jaan se baahar hai

bachchon ke saath aaj use dekhaa to dukh huaa
un mein se koi ek bhi maan par nahin gayaa

mohabbatein to faqat intihaaein maangti hain
mohabbaton mein bhalaa e'tidaal kyaa karnaa

sivaa tere har ik shai ko haTaa denaa hai manzar se
aur is ke baa'd khud ko be-sar-o-saamaan karnaa hai

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

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

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

meri saari zindagi ko be-samar us ne kiyaa
umr meri thi magar us ko basar us ne kiyaa

jiinaa taDap taDap kar marnaa sisak sisak kar
fariyaad ek ji hai kyaa kyaa kharaabiyon mein

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