aah marg-e-aadmi par aadmi roe bahut — Hafeez Hoshiarpuri

dosti aam hai lekin ai dost
dost miltaa hai baDi mushkil se

zamaane bhar ke gham yaa ik tiraa gham
ye gham hogaa to kitne gham na honge

agar tu ittifaaqan mil bhi jaae
tiri furqat ke sadme kam na honge

duniyaa mein hain kaam bahut
mujh ko itnaa yaad na aa

dil se aati hai baat lab pe 'hafiz'
baat dil mein kahaan se aati hai

ham ko manzil ne bhi gumraah kiyaa
raaste nikle kai manzil se

maut se pahle jahaan mein chand saanson kaa azaab
zindagi jo qarz teraa thaa adaa kar aae hain

maut kahte hain jis ko ai 'saaghar'
zindagi ki koi kaDi hogi

mohmal hai na jaanein to, samjhein to vazaahat hai
hai ziist faqat dhokaa aur maut haqiqat hai

marnaa bhi nahin hai apne bas mein
jiinaa bhi azaab ho gayaa hai

tujhe bhi dekh liyaa ham ne o khudaa-e-ajal
ki teraa zor chalaa bhi to ahl-e-gham pe chalaa

bichhaDnaa bhi tumhaaraa jite-ji ki maut hai goyaa
use kyaa khaak lutf-e-zindagi jis se judaa tum ho
