gar zindagi mein mil gae phir ittifaaq se — Sahir Ludhianvi

le de ke apne paas faqat ik nazar to hai
kyuun dekhein zindagi ko kisi ki nazar se ham

ham jurm-e-mohabbat ki sazaa paaeinge tanhaa
jo tujh se hui ho vo khataa saath liye jaa

ham amn chaahte hain magar zulm ke khilaaf
gar jang laazmi hai to phir jang hi sahi

hazaar barq gire laakh aandhiyaan uTThein
vo phuul khil ke raheinge jo khilne vaale hain

kaun rotaa hai kisi aur ki khaatir ai dost
sab ko apni hi kisi baat pe ronaa aayaa

milti hai zindagi mein mohabbat kabhi kabhi
hoti hai dilbaron ki inaayat kabhi kabhi

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

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

afsos umr kaT gai ranj-o-malaal mein
dekhaa na khvaab mein bhi jo kuchh thaa khayaal mein

zindagi zor hai ravaani kaa
kyaa thamegaa bahaav paani kaa

umr hi teri guzar jaaegi un ke hal mein
teraa bachcha jo savaalaat liye baiThaa hai

idhar to tuul diyaa hai umiid ko us ne
udhar hayaat ataa ki hai mukhtasar mujh ko
