ham jo TuuTe hain bataa haar bhalaa kis ki hui — Bakul Dev

vahi aansu vahi maazi ke qisse
jise dekho kaTe ko kaaTtaa hai

havas shaamil hai thoDi si duaa mein
abhi is lau mein halkaa saa dhuaan hai

shaam utri hai phir ahaate mein
jism par raushni ke ghaav liye

taalluq tark to kar lein sabhi se
bhale lagte hain kuchh nuqsaan lekin

baad muddat ye jilaa kis ke hunar ne bakhshi
baad muddat mire aaine mein chehre aae

aaine mein hai phir vahi surat
yuun hi hoti hai tarjumaani kyaa

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

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

zindagi tu bhi hamein vaise hi ik roz guzaar
jis tarah ham tujhe barson se guzaare hue hain

ai shahr-e-sitam-zaad tiri umr baDi ho
kuchh aur bataa naql-e-makaani ke alaava

bahut aziiz thi ye zindagi magar ham log
kabhi kabhi to kisi aarzu mein mar bhi gae

har baar hi main jaan se jaane mein rah gayaa
main rasm-e-zindagi jo nibhaane mein rah gayaa
