koi vaqt batlaa ki tujh se milun — Khalilur Rahman Azmi

teri gali se chhuT ke na jaa-e-amaan mili
ab ke to meraa ghar bhi miraa ghar na ho sakaa

jaane kyuun ik khayaal saa aayaa
main na hungaa to kyaa kami hogi

tiri vafaa mein mili aarzu-e-maut mujhe
jo maut mil gai hoti to koi baat bhi thi

azal se thaa vo hamaare vajud kaa hissa
vo ek shakhs ki jo ham pe mehrbaan huaa

tere na ho sake to kisi ke na ho sake
ye kaarobaar-e-shauq mukarrar na ho sakaa

tamaam yaadein mahak rahi hain har ek ghuncha khilaa huaa hai
zamaana biitaa magar gumaan hai ki aaj hi vo judaa huaa hai

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

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

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

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

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
