maut ki aarzu mein divaane — Anis Abr

main muskuraataa magar di na ashk ne mohlat
khushi jab ek mili saath gham hazaar mile

'abr' duniyaa ko chhoD jaane kaa
ik bahaana talaash karnaa hai

lafz yuun khaamushi se laDte hain
jis tarah gham hansi se laDte hain

tujh pe jami hain sab ki nazrein
teri nazar mein kaun rahegaa

aaj insaan ko tapte sahraa mein
bahtaa dariyaa talaash karnaa hai

kyuun haath dil se lagaate ho baar baar apnaa
kyaa dil mein ab bhi koi be-nazir rahtaa 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

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

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

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

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