ik dandanaati rail si umrein guzar gaiin — Mohammad Asadullah

rahbar bhi ye hamdam bhi ye gham-khvaar hamaare
ustaad ye qaumon ke hain meamaar hamaare

mahak uThi hai fazaa pairahan ki khushbu se
chaman dilon kaa khilaane ko eid aai hai

ai jaate baras tujh ko saunpaa khudaa ko
mubaarak mubaarak nayaa saal sab ko

aab-dida huun main khud zakhm-e-jigar se apne
teri aankhon mein chhupaa dard kahaan se dekhun

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

bas ek pal ki tamannaa-e-vasl ki khaatir
tamaam 'umr lagaa di gai sanvarne mein

balaa-e-jaan thi jo bazm-e-tamaashaa chhoD di main ne
khushaa ai zindagi khvaabon ki duniyaa chhoD di main ne

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

zindagi jin ki rifaaqat pe bahut naazaan thi
un se bichhDi to koi aankh mein aansu bhi nahin
