maut ki god mein jab tak nahin tu so jaataa — Sada Ambalvi

zikr meraa aaegaa mahfil mein jab jab dosto
ro paDeinge yaad kar ke yaar sab yaari miri

vaqt har zakhm kaa marham to nahin ban saktaa
dard kuchh hote hain taa-umr rulaane vaale

bujh gai shama ki lau tere dupaTTe se to kyaa
apni muskaan se mahfil ko munavvar kar de

apni urdu to mohabbat ki zabaan thi pyaare
uff siyaasat ne use joD diyaa mazhab se

kyuun sadaa pahne vo teraa hi pasandida libaas
kuchh to mausam ke mutaabiq bhi sanvarnaa hai use

kitnaa sochaa thaa dil lagaaeinge
sochte sochte hayaat hui

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

nazar bachaa ke jo aansu kiye the main ne paak
khabar na thi yahi dhabbe baneinge daaman ke

bataa khud ko bhalaa kaise sanvaarun
mujhe gham aainon mein dikh rahaa hai

vo dard huun koi chaara nahin hai jis kaa kahin
vo zakhm huun ki hai dushvaar indimaal miraa
