mere sanam-kade mein kai aur but bhi hain — Baqar Mehdi

is shahr mein hai kaun hamaaraa tire sivaa
ye kyaa ki tu bhi apnaa kabhi ham-navaa na ho

jaane kin mushkilon se jiite hain
kyaa karein koi mehrbaan na rahaa

ham milein yaa na milein phir bhi kabhi khvaabon mein
muskuraati hui aaeingi hamaari baatein

jaane kyuun un se milte rahte hain
khush vo kyaa honge jab khafaa hi nahin

aisi begaanagi nahin dekhi
ab kisi kaa koi yahaan na rahaa

sailaab-e-zindagi ke sahaare baDhe chalo
saahil pe rahne vaalon kaa naam-o-nishaan nahin

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

meri saari zindagi ko be-samar us ne kiyaa
umr meri thi magar us ko basar us ne kiyaa

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

umr hi teri guzar jaaegi un ke hal mein
teraa bachcha jo savaalaat liye baiThaa hai

idhar to tuul diyaa hai umiid ko us ne
udhar hayaat ataa ki hai mukhtasar mujh ko
