zaraa chashm-e-karam se dekh lo tum — Shakir Kalkattvi

ye maajraa-e-mohabbat samajh mein aa na sakaa
vo haath aae to main haath unhein lagaa na sakaa

rone ke badle apni tabaahi pe hans diyaa
'shaakir' ne is tarah gila-e-aasmaan kiyaa

qasam hi nahin hai faqat is kaa sheva
taghaaful bhi hai ek andaaz us kaa

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

adaa huaa na qarz aur vajud khatm ho gayaa
main zindagi kaa dete dete suud khatm ho gayaa

ye zamaana vo hai jis mein hain buzurg o khurd jitne
unhein farz ho gayaa hai gila-e-hayaat karnaa

apni to is chaman mein nit umr yunhi guzri
yaan aashiyaan banaayaa vaan aashiyaan banaayaa
