zindagi biit gai ginte hue taarikhein — Shahid Ahsan Moradabadi

ye baat munsifon mein abhi zer-e-ghaur hai
patthar ko main lagaa huun ki patthar lagaa mujhe

sone vaalon ko jagaanaa to hai aasaan magar
jaagne vaalon ko kis tarah jagaayaa jaae

teri zulfein tire aariz tiri aankhein tire lab
main zamindaar huun ye sab miri jaagirein hain

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

balaa-e-jaan thi jo bazm-e-tamaashaa chhoD di main ne
khushaa ai zindagi khvaabon ki duniyaa chhoD di main ne

bas ek pal ki tamannaa-e-vasl ki khaatir
tamaam 'umr lagaa di gai sanvarne mein

jis ko kahte hain arsa-e-hasti
tausan-e-umr ki hai ik sarpaT
