duniyaa mein gharibon ko do kaam hi aate hain — Kaleem Aajiz

gham hai to koi lutf nahin bistar-e-gul par
ji khush hai to kaanTon pe bhi aaraam bahut hai

ye tarz-e-khaas hai koi kahaan se laaegaa
jo ham kaheinge kisi se kahaa na jaaegaa

mausam-e-gul hamein jab yaad aayaa
jitnaa gham bhule the sab yaad aayaa

haan kuchh bhi to derina mohabbat kaa bharam rakh
dil se na aa duniyaa ko dikhaane ke liye aa

unhin ke giit zamaane mein gaae jaaeinge
jo choT khaaeinge aur muskuraae jaaeinge

ye aansu be-sabab jaari nahin hai
mujhe rone ki bimaari nahin hai

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

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

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

zindagi zor hai ravaani kaa
kyaa thamegaa bahaav paani kaa

idhar to tuul diyaa hai umiid ko us ne
udhar hayaat ataa ki hai mukhtasar mujh ko
