sau milin zindagi se saughaatein — Ali Sardar Jafri

inqalaab aaegaa raftaar se maayus na ho
bahut aahista nahin hai jo bahut tez nahin

puraane saal ki ThiThuri hui parchhaaiyaan simTin
nae din kaa nayaa suraj ufuq par uThtaa aataa hai

daaman jhaTak ke vaadi-e-gham se guzar gayaa
uTh uTh ke dekhti rahi gard-e-safar mujhe

shikaayatein bhi bahut hain hikaayatein bhi bahut
mazaa to jab hai ki yaaron ke ru-ba-ru kahiye

bahut barbaad hain lekin sadaa-e-inqalaab aae
vahin se vo pukaar uThegaa jo zarra jahaan hogaa

ye kis ne phone pe di saal-e-nau ki tahniyat mujh ko
tamannaa raqs karti hai takhayyul gungunaataa hai

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

meri saari zindagi ko be-samar us ne kiyaa
umr meri thi magar us ko basar us ne kiyaa

jiinaa taDap taDap kar marnaa sisak sisak kar
fariyaad ek ji hai kyaa kyaa kharaabiyon mein

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

umr hi teri guzar jaaegi un ke hal mein
teraa bachcha jo savaalaat liye baiThaa hai
