go barasti nahin sadaa aankhein — Gulzar

vo umr kam kar rahaa thaa meri
main saal apne baDhaa rahaa thaa

zindagi par bhi koi zor nahin
dil ne har chiiz paraai di hai

ek hi khvaab ne saari raat jagaayaa hai
main ne har karvaT sone ki koshish ki

jab bhi ye dil udaas hotaa hai
jaane kaun aas-paas hotaa hai

din kuchh aise guzaartaa hai koi
jaise ehsaan utaartaa hai koi

vaqt rahtaa nahin kahin Tik kar
aadat is ki bhi aadmi si hai

Dil dhoondta hai phir wahi fursat-e-shab-o-roz
Naaz uthana, naaz uthana, naaz uthana

Hazaaron khwahishein aisi ke har khwahish pe dam nikle
Bahut nikle mere armaan, lekin phir bhi kam nikle

main bhi ruk ruk ke na martaa jo zabaan ke badle
dashna ik tez saa hotaa mire gham-khvaar ke paas

baDe baDe gham khaDe hue the rasta roke raahon mein
chhoTi chhoTi khushiyon se hi ham ne dil ko shaad kiyaa

khud apne se milne kaa to yaaraa na thaa mujh mein
main bhiiD mein gum ho gai tanhaai ke Dar se

dil naa-umid to nahin naakaam hi to hai
lambi hai gham ki shaam magar shaam hi to hai
