nashsha-e-hosh chaDhaa jaataa hai rafta rafta — Sifar Sharma

shauq mein pahni thi bas zanjir kyaa maa'lum thaa
beDiyon ki shakl le legi ye naagin ek din

shamshir ba-kaf huun na koi jism mein jumbish
main kis ke muqaabil huun ki maaraa nahin jaataa

ye saare zakhmi gunge hain
ye saari duniyaa andhi hai

havaa hai aasmaan hai aag hai paani hai miTTi hai
nuqush-e-yaar gar hote to main duniyaa banaa letaa

kaanon mein gunjti hai vo aavaaz dam-ba-dam
ik haath rah gayaa hai kahin haath chhoD kar

kahte hain aise vaqt mein vaajib hai jhuuT bhi
tu jhuuT koi bol ki dil phir se ji uThe

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

balaa-e-jaan thi jo bazm-e-tamaashaa chhoD di main ne
khushaa ai zindagi khvaabon ki duniyaa chhoD di main ne

be-taalluq zindagi achchhi nahin
zindagi kyaa maut bhi achchhi nahin

jis ko kahte hain arsa-e-hasti
tausan-e-umr ki hai ik sarpaT
