nahin ki zindagi hamein kahaan kahaan liye phiri — Shahab Sarmadi

chaand hai teraa ham-safar koi nahin hai raahbar
aage qadam baDhaa ke rakh duur ki raushni na dekh

tum khud hi chale aaoge shaayad sar-e-manzil
ik raah nikaali hai miri dar-badari ne

baagh kaa dard usi phuul ke dil se puchho
muskuraataa huaa jo daur-e-khizaan se guzre

is ehtimaam se aksar uThe hain paimaane
ki buund buund ko main jaanon yaa khudaa jaane

tiraa khayaal de gayaa hai aasraa kahin kahin
tiraa firaaq hausle baDhaa gayaa 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

ye zindagi jise apnaa samajh rahe hain sab
hai mustaaar faqat raunaq-e-jahaan ke liye

kabhi kabhi to mohabbat ki zindagi ke liye
khud un ko ham ne ubhaaraa hai barhami ke liye

tujh se kyaa subh talak saath nibhegaa ai umr
shab-e-furqat ki jo ghaDiyon kaa guzarnaa hai yahi
