baanjh-pan kaa sila milaa us ko — Tauheed Zeb

dhokaa khaane pe ro paDaa hogaa
ye koi 'ishq mein nayaa hogaa

apni tasvir chuum li us ne
phuul par phuul khil gayaa jaise

ek hi din milaa mohabbat ko
saal bhar ki thakan utaari gai

daftar-e-husn khole baiThe hain
'aashiqi rozgaar hai un kaa

kyaa huaa husn-e-jaavedaan ko tire
tu to mujh se bichhaD ke khush thi bahut

'umr guzri magar mohabbat mein
ek lamha bhi yaadgaar nahin

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

ai shahr-e-sitam-zaad tiri umr baDi ho
kuchh aur bataa naql-e-makaani ke alaava

umr bhar tujh ko dekhne par bhi
zauq-e-nazzaara kam nahin hotaa

bahut aziiz thi ye zindagi magar ham log
kabhi kabhi to kisi aarzu mein mar bhi gae
