taana dete ho mujhe jiine kaa — Raza Hamdani

bikhar gayaa huun fazaaon mein bu-e-gul ki tarah
mire vajud mein vusat miri samaa na saki

bhanvar se laDo tund lahron se uljho
kahaan tak chaloge kinaare kinaare

ik baar jo TuuTe to kabhi juD nahin saktaa
aaina nahin dil magar aaina-numaa hai

paas-e-aadaab-e-vafaa thaa ki shikasta-paai
be-khudi mein bhi na ham had se guzarne paae

goyaa the to koi bhi nahin thaa
ab chup hain to shahr dekhtaa hai

qurbat tiri kis ko raas aai
aaine mein aks kaanptaa hai

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

zindagi jis ne talkh ki meri
vo mujhe zindagi se pyaaraa hai

aankh se kis ne raushni maangi
khvaab ke naam zindagi maangi

hamein hadd-e-adab ne maar Daalaa
ki dushman umr mein ham se baDaa hai
