aarzu hai ki tu yahaan aae — Nasir Kazmi

vo koi dost thaa achchhe dinon kaa
jo pichhli raat se yaad aa rahaa hai

vaqt achchhaa bhi aaegaa 'naasir'
gham na kar zindagi paDi hai abhi

bhari duniyaa mein ji nahin lagtaa
jaane kis chiiz ki kami hai abhi

hamaare ghar ki divaaron pe 'naasir'
udaasi baal khole so rahi hai

judaaiyon ke zakhm dard-e-zindagi ne bhar diye
tujhe bhi niind aa gai mujhe bhi sabr aa gayaa

ai dost ham ne tark-e-mohabbat ke baavajud
mahsus ki hai teri zarurat kabhi kabhi

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

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

ai shahr-e-sitam-zaad tiri umr baDi ho
kuchh aur bataa naql-e-makaani ke alaava

umr bhar tujh ko dekhne par bhi
zauq-e-nazzaara kam nahin hotaa

bahut aziiz thi ye zindagi magar ham log
kabhi kabhi to kisi aarzu mein mar bhi gae
