ulaT kar jab bhi dekhi hai kitaab-e-zindagi ham ne — Abdul Mannan Samadi

parinde sab nahin zindaan mein maare gae hain
qafas mein kuchh to kuchh naql-e-makaani mein mare hain

badan par is-qadar baarish mire hoti hai boson ki
ki jab baanhein tiri mujh par khuli hon Daaliyaan ban kar

vahi rusvaai kaa meri sabab aakhir bane maulaa
vahi jo log kal shaamein suhaani karne vaale the

vahi ik qissa ab tak dhyaan mein raushan nahin hotaa
tasalsul jis se vaabasta hai pichhli daastaanon kaa

tasavvur ki hadon se duur jaa kar kaise dekheinge
agar tum se ta'alluq ghaaebaana bhi nahin hogaa

kuchh badan ke the taqaaze kuchh sharaarat dil ki thi
aaj lekin ishq apnaa jaavedaan hone ko thaa

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

apne man mein Duub kar paa jaa suraagh-e-zindagi
tu agar meraa nahin bantaa na ban apnaa to ban

baDe qalaq ki baat hai ki tum ise na paDh sake
hamaari zindagi to ik khuli hui kitaab thi

zindagi ke bahut qarib na jaa
faasla kuchh to apne dhyaan mein rakh

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

umr bhar kaun nibhaataa hai ta'alluq itnaa
ai miri jaan ke dushman tujhe allaah rakkhe
