pi gai thi ghol kar 'aazaad' ki aab-e-hayaat — Shaukat Jamal

chaahte to the mire aghyaar tu paidaa na ho
phir bhi ye himmat hai teri tu agar paidaa huaa

bolin ki kaam karne ki khugar nahin huun main
biivi huun aap ki koi shauhar nahin huun main

saaqi kaa aur sharaab kaa ho zikr baar baar
zaahid ko bhuul kar na kabhi paarsaa likhein

khaanaa khulne kaa hi elaan agar farmaa dein
ham ye samjheinge ki taqrir-e-sadaarat bakhshi

mumkin nahin ghazab se bachein ham janaab ke
baalishtiyon ko bhi na agar sarv saa likhein

facebōk hi aaj-kal chaupaal hai
chauk par milte kahaan hain chaar dost

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

zindagi tu bhi hamein vaise hi ik roz guzaar
jis tarah ham tujhe barson se guzaare hue hain

ik 'umr tere saath chalaa bhi to kyaa milaa
ab sochtaa huun tujh se bichhaD kar hi dekh luun

dekhi hai 'umr bhar yahi be-chehra kaaenaat
do chaar pal vujud ke andar hi dekh luun

zindagi di hai to jiine kaa hunar bhi denaa
paanv bakhshein hain to taufiq-e-safar bhi denaa
