sataa lo mujhe zindagi mein sataa lo — Ehsan Danish Kandhlvi

kuchh log jo savaar hain kaaghaz ki naav par
tohmat taraashte hain havaa ke dabaav par

tum saada-mizaaji se miTe phirte ho jis par
vo shakhs to duniyaa mein kisi kaa bhi nahin hai

main hairaan huun ki kyuun us se hui thi dosti apni
mujhe kaise gavaara ho gai thi dushmani apni

log yuun dekh ke hans dete hain
tu mujhe bhuul gayaa ho jaise

shorish-e-ishq mein hai husn baraabar kaa sharik
soch kar jurm-e-tamannaa ki sazaa do ham ko

kis kis ki zabaan rokne jaaun tiri khaatir
kis kis ki tabaahi mein tiraa haath nahin hai

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

apne man mein Duub kar paa jaa suraagh-e-zindagi
tu agar meraa nahin bantaa na ban apnaa to ban

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

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
