tavil umr ki Dheron duaaein bheji hain — Azlan Shah

haare hue logon ki kahaani ki tarah hain
ham log bhi bahte hue paani ki tarah hain

kamaan na tiir na talvaar apni hoti hai
magar ye duniyaa ki har baar apni hoti hai

na haath suukh ke jhaDte hain jism se apne
na shaakh koi samar-baar apni hoti hai

haar ko jiit ke imkaan se baandhe hue rakh
apni mushkil kisi aasaan se baandhe hue rakh

mujh ko pahchaan tu ai vaqt main vo huun jo faqat
ek ghalati ke liye arsh-e-barin se niklaa

kis liye is se nikalne ki duaaein maangun
mujh ko maalum hai manjdhaar se aage kyaa 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

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

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

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