umr do-chaar roz mehmaan hai — Maatam Fazl Mohammad

dariyaa mein vo dhoyaa thaa kabhi dast-e-hinaai
hasrat se vahin panja-e-marjaan mein lagi aag

dekh kar haath mein tasbih gale mein zunnaar
mujh se bezaar hue kaafir o din-daar judaa

agar samjho namaaz-e-zaahid-e-maghrur yaaro
hazaaron baar behtar-tar hamaari be-namaazi hai

ishq-e-khubaan nahin hai aisi shai
baandh kar rakhiye jis ko puDiyaa mein

jahaan se huun yahaan aayaa vahaan jaaungaa aakhir ko
miraa ye haal hai yaaro na mustaqbil na maazi huun

pujtaa huun kabhi but ko kabhi paDhtaa huun namaaz
meraa mazhab koi hindu na musalmaan samjhaa

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

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

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

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

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