miyaan us shakhs se hoshiyaar rahnaa — Malikzada Javed

jal gae phir se kuchh hasin rishte
tanziya guftugu ki bhaTTi mein

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

uThaao camera tasvir khinch lo in ki
udaas log kahaan roz muskuraate hain

zindagi ek kahaani ke sivaa kuchh bhi nahin
log kirdaar nibhaate hue mar jaate hain

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

yak qadam raah-e-dost hai 'daaud'
lekin afsos paa-e-bakht hai lang

ghussa aataa hai pyaar aataa hai
ghair ke ghar se yaar aataa hai

log logon se dosti kar ke
kitnaa saste mein bech dete hain

ye mere saathi hain pyaare saathi magar inhein bhi nahin gavaaraa
main apni vahshat ke maqbare se nai tamannaa ke khvaab dekhun

ai adam ke musaafiro hoshiyaar
raah mein zindagi khaDi hogi
