jab nahin kuchh e'tibaar-e-zindagi — Imdad Imam Asar

gulshan mein kaun bulbul-e-naalaan ko de panaah
gulchin o baaghbaan bhi hain sayyaad ki taraf

kaisaa aanaa kaisaa jaanaa mere ghar kyaa aaoge
ghairon ke ghar jaane se tum fursat kis din paate ho

kartaa hai ai 'asar' dil-e-khun-gashta kaa gila
aashiq vo kyaa ki khasta-e-tegh-e-jafaa na ho

saath duniyaa kaa nahin taalib-e-duniyaa dete
apne kutton ko ye murdaar liye phirti hai

aaina dekh ke farmaate hain
kis ghazab ki hai javaani meri

dil ki haalat se khabar deti hai
'asar' aashufta-bayaani meri

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

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

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

aankh se kis ne raushni maangi
khvaab ke naam zindagi maangi

hamein hadd-e-adab ne maar Daalaa
ki dushman umr mein ham se baDaa hai

pyaar hai mujh ko zindagi se bahut
aur tu zindagi se pyaari hai
