aisaa ho zindagi mein koi khvaab hi na ho — Khaleel Mamoon

hazaaron chaand sitaare chamak gae hote
kabhi nazar jo tiri maail-e-karam hoti

meri tarah se ye bhi sataayaa huaa hai kyaa
kyuun itne daagh dikhte hain mahtaab mein abhi

sab log hamein ek nazar aate hain
andaaza nahin hotaa hai ab chehron kaa

tum nahin aaoge khabar hai hamein
phir bhi ham intizaar kar leinge

lafzon kaa khazaana bhi kabhi kaam na aae
baiThe rahein likhne ko tiraa naam na aae

vo buraai sab se meri kar rahe hain
kyuun nahin karte bayaan achchhaaiyon ko

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

idhar to tuul diyaa hai umiid ko us ne
udhar hayaat ataa ki hai mukhtasar mujh ko

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
