umrein guzar gai hain asar ki talaash mein — Khadim Razmi

kuchh is liye bhi vo sailaab bhej detaa hai
ki bastiyon mein raho aur khanDar bhi saath rakho

ham ko jaanaa thaa kis taraf 'razmi'!
aur kis samt hain ravaan ham log

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

zindagi ke bahut qarib na jaa
faasla kuchh to apne dhyaan mein rakh

baDe qalaq ki baat hai ki tum ise na paDh sake
hamaari zindagi to ik khuli hui kitaab thi

apne man mein Duub kar paa jaa suraagh-e-zindagi
tu agar meraa nahin bantaa na ban apnaa to ban

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

umr bhar kaun nibhaataa hai ta'alluq itnaa
ai miri jaan ke dushman tujhe allaah rakkhe
