umr ki avvalin azaanon mein — Hammad Niyazi

kachchi qabron par saji khushbu ki bikhri laash par
khaamushi ne ik nae andaaz mein taqrir ki

haar diyaa hai ujlat mein
khud ko kis aasaani se

main apne baap ke siine se phuul chuntaa huun
so jab bhi saans thami baagh mein Tahal aayaa

dikhaai dene lagi thi khushbu
main phuul aankhon pe mal rahaa thaa

vo peD jis ki chhaanv mein kaTi thi umr gaanv mein
main chuum chuum thak gayaa magar ye dil bharaa nahin

bas ek lamha tire vasl kaa mayassar ho
aur us visaal ke lamhe ko daaimi kiyaa jaae

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

dard-e-ulfat zindagi ke vaaste iksir hai
khaak ke putle isi jauhar se insaan ho gae

hamein to shaam-e-gham mein kaaTni hai zindagi apni
jahaan vo hain vahin ai chaand le jaa raushni apni

rangini-e-hayaat baDhaane ke vaaste
paDti hai haadson ki zarurat kabhi kabhi
