mar-mar ke jiein kis liye bande tire maulaa — Sada Ambalvi

zikr meraa aaegaa mahfil mein jab jab dosto
ro paDeinge yaad kar ke yaar sab yaari miri

vaqt har zakhm kaa marham to nahin ban saktaa
dard kuchh hote hain taa-umr rulaane vaale

bujh gai shama ki lau tere dupaTTe se to kyaa
apni muskaan se mahfil ko munavvar kar de

apni urdu to mohabbat ki zabaan thi pyaare
uff siyaasat ne use joD diyaa mazhab se

kyuun sadaa pahne vo teraa hi pasandida libaas
kuchh to mausam ke mutaabiq bhi sanvarnaa hai use

kitnaa sochaa thaa dil lagaaeinge
sochte sochte hayaat hui

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

tum jafaa par bhi to nahin qaaem
ham vafaa umr bhar karein kyun-kar

itvaar ko aanaa tiraa maalum ki ik umr
be-pir tire ham ne hi atvaar ko dekhaa

ik musalsal jang thi khud se ki ham zinda hain aaj
zindagi ham teraa haq yuun bhi adaa karte rahe
