lai na TuuTe zindagi ke saaz ki — Hayat Amrohvi

aashiq ki bhi hasti hai duniyaa mein ajab hasti
zinda hai to rusvaa hai mar jaae to afsaana

zabt-e-gham vufur-e-shauq aur dil-e-naa-subur-e-ishq
mujh ko to hai ghurur-e-ishq aap ko naaz ho na ho

chheDiye saaz-e-zindagi naghma-navaaz ho na ho
aah to kar ke dekhiye soz mein saaz ho na ho

zindagi kaa saaz bhi kyaa saaz hai
baj rahaa hai aur be-aavaaz hai

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

baDe qalaq ki baat hai ki tum ise na paDh sake
hamaari zindagi to ik khuli hui kitaab thi

zindagi ke bahut qarib na jaa
faasla kuchh to apne dhyaan mein rakh

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

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

umr bhar kaun nibhaataa hai ta'alluq itnaa
ai miri jaan ke dushman tujhe allaah rakkhe
