aap kaa koi safar be-samt be-manzil na ho — Anis Dehlavi

chhin liin khushiyaan miri aankhon se meri niind bhi
zindagi tu ne mujhe ab tak diyaa kuchh bhi nahin

karnaa hai aap ko jo nae raaston ki khoj
sab jis taraf na jaaein udhar jaanaa chaahiye

aap ki baaton mein aa kar kho diyaa dil kaa sukun
zindagi mein dekhiye meri bachaa kuchh bhi nahin

jo dil baandhe vo jaadu jaantaa hai
miraa mahbub urdu jaantaa hai

uDaa gae hain bahut dhuul jaane vaale log
chhaTe ghubaar to kuchh raasta nazar aae

us bevafaa pe marne ko aamaada dil nahin
lekin vafaa ki zid hai ki mar jaanaa chaahiye

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

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

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

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

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