tamaam umr ba-qaid-e-safar rahaa huun main — Sarfaraz Khalid

kisi ne jaan hi luTaa di vafaaon ki khaatir
tum hi bataao ki qissa ye kis kitaab kaa hai

lambi hai bahut aaj ki shab jaagne vaalo
aur yaad mujhe koi kahaani bhi nahin hai

vo bhi na aayaa umr-e-guzishta ke misl hi
ham bhi khaDe rahe dar-o-divaar ki tarah

tiri duaaein bhi shaamil hain koshishon mein miri
musibaton kaa na Talnaa ajiib lagtaa hai

siyaah raat ke pahlu mein jism ke andar
kisi gunaah ki khvaahish ko paalte rahnaa

ham kisi aur vaqt ke hain asiir
subh ke shaam ke rahe hi nahin

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

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

umr bhar kaun nibhaataa hai ta'alluq itnaa
ai miri jaan ke dushman tujhe allaah rakkhe

bas ek pal ki tamannaa-e-vasl ki khaatir
tamaam 'umr lagaa di gai sanvarne mein

umr-bhar jis ke liye aankhein rahi hain farsh-e-raah
vo ajal kaa qaasid-e-farkhanda-gaam aa hi gayaa
