tang aa chuke hain kashmakash-e-zindagi se ham — Sahir Ludhianvi

le de ke apne paas faqat ik nazar to hai
kyuun dekhein zindagi ko kisi ki nazar se ham

ham jurm-e-mohabbat ki sazaa paaeinge tanhaa
jo tujh se hui ho vo khataa saath liye jaa

ham amn chaahte hain magar zulm ke khilaaf
gar jang laazmi hai to phir jang hi sahi

hazaar barq gire laakh aandhiyaan uTThein
vo phuul khil ke raheinge jo khilne vaale hain

kaun rotaa hai kisi aur ki khaatir ai dost
sab ko apni hi kisi baat pe ronaa aayaa

milti hai zindagi mein mohabbat kabhi kabhi
hoti hai dilbaron ki inaayat kabhi kabhi

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

apni to is chaman mein nit umr yunhi guzri
yaan aashiyaan banaayaa vaan aashiyaan banaayaa

ai dost is zamaan-o-makaan ke azaab mein
dushman hai jo kisi ko duaa-e-hayaat de

meraa jiinaa hai sej kaanTon ki
un ke marne kaa naam taaj-mahal
