zindagi ai zindagi!! aa do ghaDi mil kar rahein — Azad Gulati

aasmaan ek sulagtaa huaa sahraa hai jahaan
DhunDhtaa phirtaa hai khud apnaa hi saayaa suraj

kise milti najaat 'aazaad' hasti ke masaail se
ki har koi muqayyad aab o gil ke silsilon kaa thaa

dekhne vaale mujhe meri nazar se dekh le
main tiri nazron mein huun aur main hi har manzar mein huun

ek vo hain ki jinhein apni khushi le Duubi
ek ham hain ki jinhein gham ne ubharne na diyaa

raushni phaili to sab kaa rang kaalaa ho gayaa
kuchh diye aise jale har-su andheraa ho gayaa

aap jis rah-guzar-e-dil se kabhi guzre the
us pe taa-umr kisi ko bhi guzarne na diyaa

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

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

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
