'ahd kartaa hai tiraa chaahne vaalaa tujh se — Mahwar Sirsivi

vo apne ‘abd-e-haqiqi ko aazmaataa hai
har ik bashar kaa yahaan imtihaan nahin hotaa

vaqt ke paanv bhi nahin mehvar
aur raftaar bhi ghazab ki hai

ghaur se dekhnaa hanste hue chehre ki taraf
ek manzar pas-e-manzar kai manzar degaa

aaj gar bole nahin haq baat par
kal sitam honge tumhaari zaat par

ulfat to dekhiye miri didaar ke sabab
darvesh ban ke yaar ki chaukhaT pe aa gayaa

ek muddat se niind taari hai
ek muddat se so nahin paae

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

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

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

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

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
