zindagi fan nahin madaari kaa — Bashir Mehtaab

hasin yaadein vo bachpan ki kahin dil se na kho jaaein
main apne aashiyaane mein khilaune ab bhi rakhtaa huun

ik bevafaa ke pyaar mein had se guzar gae
kaafir ke pyaar ne hamein kaafir banaa diyaa

apni kamar se aap hi baandhe safar tamaam
phir yuun huaa ki main kabhi apnaa nahin banaa

yuun mohabbat ko umr-bhar paDhnaa
zindagi imtihaan ho jaise

jise manzil samajh kar ruk gae ham
vahin se apnaa aaghaaz-e-safar thaa

tum mire paas jab nahin hote
dhaDkanein ehtijaaj karti hain

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

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

kitnaa sochaa thaa dil lagaaeinge
sochte sochte hayaat hui

hangaama-e-hayaat se lenaa to kuchh nahin
haan dekhte chalo ki tamaashaa hai raah kaa

ai shab-e-hijraan ziyaada paanv phailaati hai kyuun
bhar gayaa jitnaa hamaari umr kaa paimaana thaa
