vo kyaa zindagi jis mein joshish nahin — Krishna Mohan

jab bhi ki tahrir apni daastaan
teri hi tasvir ho kar rah gai

makaan andar se khasta ho gayaa hai
aur is mein ek rasta ho gayaa hai

bhaTak ke raah se ham sab ko aazmaa aae
fareb de gae jitne bhi rahnumaa aae

zindagi ke aakhiri lamhe khushi se bhar gayaa
ek din itnaa hansaa vo hanste hanste mar gayaa

jab bhi mile vo naa-gahaan jhuum uThe hain qalb o jaan
milne mein lutf hai agar milnaa ho kaam ke baghair

dil ek sadiyon puraanaa udaas mandir hai
umiid tarsaa huaa pyaar dev-daasi kaa

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

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

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

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