ab bhi ik umr pe jiine kaa na andaaz aayaa — Shad Azimabadi

jab kisi ne haal puchaa ro diyaa
chashm-e-tar tu ne to mujh ko kho diyaa

iid mein iid hui aish kaa saamaan dekhaa
dekh kar chaand jo munh aap kaa ai jaan dekhaa

naazuk thaa bahut kuchh dil meraa ai 'shaad' tahammul ho na sakaa
ik Thes lagi thi yuun hi si kiyaa jald ye shisha TuuT gayaa

talab karein bhi to kyaa shai talab karein ai 'shaad'
hamein to aap nahin apnaa muddaaa maalum

dekhaa kiye vo mast nigaahon se baar baar
jab tak sharaab aai kai daur ho gae

izhaar-e-muddaaa kaa iraada thaa aaj kuchh
tevar tumhaare dekh ke khaamosh ho gayaa

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

'najib' ik vahm thaa do chaar din kaa saath hai lekin
tire gham se to saari umr kaa rishta nikal aayaa

buland aavaaz se ghaDiyaal kahtaa hai ki ai ghaafil
kaTi ye bhi ghaDi tujh umr se aur tu nahin chetaa

ai khudaa aasudgi kaa ek lamha mere naam
umr guzri hai miri khadshaat ki dahliz par
