is chashm o dil ne kahnaa na maanaa tamaam umr — Raza Azimabadi

khushaa ho kar butaan kab aashiqon ko yaad karte hain
'razaa' hairaan huun main kis baat par hai utnaa bholaa tu

sunte to the 'razaa' hain sab hain baDe musalmaan
par kufr mein ziyaada nikle vo barahman se

dekhi thi ek raat tiri zulf khvaab mein
phir jab talak jiyaa main pareshaan hi rahaa

imaarat dair o masjid ki bani hai iinT o patthar se
dil-e-viraana ki kis chiiz se taamir hoti hai

kaabe mein shaikh mujh ko samjhe zalil lekin
sau shukr mai-kade mein hai e'tibaar apnaa

ik dam ke vaaste na kiyaa kyaa kyaa ai 'razaa'
dekhaa chhupaayaa toDaa banaayaa kahaa sunaa

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

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

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

zindagi tu bhi hamein vaise hi ik roz guzaar
jis tarah ham tujhe barson se guzaare hue hain
