tu ne vo soz diyaa hai ki ilaahi tauba — Nisar Itavi

ye dil vaalon se puchho is ko dil vaale samajhte hain
bigaaD aai havaa zulfein kisi ki yaa sanvaar aai

kitne pur-haul andheron se guzar kar ai dost
ham tire husn ki rakhshanda sahar tak pahunche

yaqinan rahbar-e-manzil kahin par raastaa bhulaa
vagarna qaafile ke qaafile gum ho nahin sakte

aa dost saath aa dar-e-maazi se maang laaein
vo apni zindagi ki javaan bhi hasin bhi thi

dil mein kyaa kyaa gumaan guzarte hain
muskuraao na baat se pahle

subh bichhaD kar shaam kaa vaada shaam kaa honaa sahal nahin
un ki tamannaa phir kar lenaa subh ko pahle shaam karo

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

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

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

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