tujh se kyaa subh talak saath nibhegaa ai umr — Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar

vahi din hai hamaari iid kaa din
jo tiri yaad mein guzartaa hai

daur-e-hayaat aaegaa qaatil qazaa ke baad
hai ibtidaa hamaari tiri intihaa ke baad

qatl-e-husain asl mein marg-e-yazid hai
islaam zinda hotaa hai har karbalaa ke baad

tauhid to ye hai ki khudaa hashr mein kah de
ye banda zamaane se khafaa mere liye hai

na namaaz aati hai mujh ko na vazu aataa hai
sajda kar letaa huun jab saamne tu aataa hai

saari duniyaa ye samajhti hai ki saudaai hai
ab miraa hosh mein aanaa tiri rusvaai hai

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

umr hi teri guzar jaaegi un ke hal mein
teraa bachcha jo savaalaat liye baiThaa hai

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

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

afsos umr kaT gai ranj-o-malaal mein
dekhaa na khvaab mein bhi jo kuchh thaa khayaal mein
