zindagi ek film hai meri — Sultan Shaafi

vahshat ne mujh hasin ko behaal kar diyaa
kamzor dil ke log na dekhein miri taraf

puchh mujh se ki kis tarah main ne
teri tasvir pe guzaaraa kiyaa

haalaanki ek shakhs tumhaari jagah pe hai
lekin tumhaaraa is se khalaa bhar nahin rahaa

ik samt ghar ke log hain ik samt 'ishq hai
ai naujavaan laDki himaaqat ki baat hai

hamaari aankh ke aansu sameTo
tumhaaraa is se kharcha chal rahaa hai

dekh aansu na qaid ho jaae
meri tasvir khinchne vaale

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

gham ke mujrim khushi ke mujrim hain
log ab zindagi ke mujrim hain

adab hi zindagi mein jab na aayaa
adab mein itni mehnat kis liye hai

mire raahbar mujh ko gumraah kar de
sunaa hai ki manzil qarib aa gai hai
