haae vo zindagi-fareb aankhein — Majeed Amjad

tire khayaal ke pahlu se uTh ke jab dekhaa
mahak rahaa thaa zamaane mein chaar-su tiraa gham

nigah uThi to zamaane ke saamne tiraa ruup
palak jhuki to mire dil ke ru-ba-ru tiraa gham

main roz idhar se guzartaa huun kaun dekhtaa hai
main jab idhar se na guzrungaa kaun dekhegaa

masih-o-khizr ki umrein nisaar hon us par
vo ek lamha jo yaaron ke darmiyaan guzre

salaam un pe tah-e-tegh bhi jinhon ne kahaa
jo teraa hukm jo teri razaa jo tu chaahe

har vaqt fikr-e-marg-e-gharibaana chaahiye
sehhat kaa ek pahlu marizaana chaahiye

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

ye karein aur vo karein aisaa karein vaisaa karein
zindagi do din ki hai do din mein ham kyaa kyaa karein

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

uD ke jaati hai miri khaak idhar gaah udhar
kuchh pataa de na gai umr-e-gurezaan apnaa
