tamaam umr yuun hi ho gai basar apni — Imam Bakhsh Nasikh

ham zaifon ko kahaan aamad o shud ki taaqat
aankh ki band huaa kucha-e-jaanaan paidaa

ham mai-kashon ko Dar nahin marne kaa mohtasib
firdaus mein bhi sunte hain nahr-e-sharaab hai

taazgi hai sukhan-e-kuhna mein ye baad-e-vafaat
log aksar mire jiine kaa gumaan rakhte hain

shubh 'naasikh' nahin kuchh 'mir' ki ustaadi mein
aap be-bahra hai jo mo'taqid-e-'mir' nahin

kaam kyaa nikle kisi tadbir se
aadmi majbur hai taqdir se

takallum hi faqat hai us sanam kaa
khudaa ki tarah goyaa be-dahaan hai

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

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

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
