hans magar hansne se pahle soch le — Syed Zameer Jafri

aadmi se suluk duniyaa kaa
jaise anDaa talaa kare koi

doctor bhi ho gae enginēr bhi ho gae
gandumi hai rang agar to dusre darje ke hain

dilon kaa farsh bichhaa hai jidhar nigaah karo
tumhaaraa ghar bhi dilon kaa kabaaD-khaana hai

yuun kaanptaa hai shaikh khayaal-e-sharaab se
jaise kabhi ye Duub gayaa thaa sharaab mein

miyaan 'gul-sher' tum bhi to havaa ke rukh ko pahchaano
jahaan saaDi chali jaati hai phulkaari nahin jaati

dard mein lazzat bahut ashkon mein raanaai bahut
ai gham-e-hasti hamein duniyaa pasand aai bahut

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

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

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

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

yaa abr-e-karam ban ke baras khushk zamin par
yaa pyaas ke sahraa mein mujhe jiinaa sikhaa de
