do jivan taaraaj hue tab puuri hui baat — Jamal Ehsani

vo bhi milne nai poshaak badal kar aayaa
main jo kal pairahan-e-khaak badal kar aayaa

isi ik baat par hai ittifaaq-o-ikhtilaaf us se
use aaina aur mujh ko piyaala achchhaa lagtaa hai

maaein darvaazon par hain
baarish hone vaali hai

mere hone se na honaa hai miraa
aag jalne se dhuaan aabaad hai

bojh se jhukne lagi shaakh to jaa kar ham ne
aashiyaane ko kisi aur shajar par rakkhaa

kuchh aur vus'atein darkaar hain mohabbat ko
visaal-o-hijr pe daar-o-madaar mushkil hai

zindagi tu bhi hamein vaise hi ik roz guzaar
jis tarah ham tujhe barson se guzaare hue hain

kuchh chhoTe chhoTe dukh apne kuchh dukh apne azizon ke
in se hi jivan bantaa hai so jivan ban jaaegaa

adaa huaa na qarz aur vajud khatm ho gayaa
main zindagi kaa dete dete suud khatm ho gayaa

zindagi khvaab dekhti hai magar
zindagi zindagi hai khvaab nahin

zindagaani ki haqiqat kohkan ke dil se puchh
ju-e-shir o tesha o sang-e-giraan hai zindagi

rahegaa saath tiraa pyaar zindagi ban kar
ye aur baat miri zindagi vafaa na kare
