khudaa aabaad rakkhe zindagi ko — Javed Nasir

aahaT bhi agar ki to tah-e-zaat nahin ki
lafzon ne kai din se koi baat nahin ki

khulti hain aasmaan mein samundar ki khiDkiyaan
be-din raaston pe kahin apnaa ghar to hai

bahut udaas thaa us din magar huaa kyaa thaa
har ek baat bhali thi to phir buraa kyaa thaa

dasht ki dhuup hai jangal ki ghani raatein hain
is kahaani mein bahr haal kai baatein hain

dosto tum se guzaarish hai yahaan mat aao
is baDe shahr mein tanhaai bhi mar jaati hai

raat aa jaae to phir tujh ko pukaarun yaa-rab
meri aavaaz ujaale mein bikhar jaati hai

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

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

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

chhiDaa jab un ke ghar jhagDaa to un ki aql chakraai
jo suljhaate rahe the umr-bhar baazaar kaa jhagDaa
