laakh bhaage zad pe jab aa jaaegi — Mustafa Rahi

shaayad hi raas aae mujhe aish-e-marg bhi
'raahi' gham-e-hayaat kaa maaraa huaa huun main

allaah tere haath hai khuddaariyon ki laaj
daanista haadsaat se Takraa gayaa huun main

be-khudi mein shaan-e-khuddaari bhi hai
khvaab mein ehsaas-e-bedaari bhi hai

dil dhaDaktaa hai sitaaron kaa yahaan
uf ye duniyaa kis qadar taarik hai

na samjhaa koi asraar-e-mohabbat
jo samjhaa kuchh dil-e-naadaan samjhaa

dekhiye kab tak yahi haalat yahi aalam rahe
dil ki har dhaDkan ye kahti hai ki vo aane ko hain

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

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

mire mazaar pe aa kar diye jalaaegaa
vo mere baa'd miri zindagi mein aaegaa
