kuchh aur sabaq ham ko zamaane ne sikhaae — Hastimal Hasti

khel zindagi ke tum khelte raho yaaro
haar jiit koi bhi aakhiri nahin hoti

pyaar kaa pahlaa khat likhne mein vaqt to lagtaa hai
nae parindon ko uDne mein vaqt to lagtaa hai

hamein pasand nahin jang mein bhi makkaari
jise nishaane pe rakkhein bataa ke rakhte hain

kahin khulus kahin dosti kahin pe vafaa
baDe qarine se ghar ko sajaa ke rakhte hain

vo jo qisse mein thaa shaamil vahi kahtaa hai mujhe
mujh ko maalum nahin yaar ye qissa kyaa hai

khud charaagh ban ke jal vaqt ke andhere mein
bhiik ke ujaalon se raushni nahin hoti

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

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