bikhregaa kitni der mein shiraaza-e-hayaat — 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

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 to apni hui sab but-parasti mein basar
naam ko duniyaa mein hain ab saahib-e-islaam ham

khushi kaa ek hi lamha thaa apni zindagi mein
sakhi aise ki vo bhi dusron ke naam kar aae

hamaari zindagi to mukhtasar si ik kahaani thi
bhalaa ho maut kaa jis ne banaa rakkhaa hai afsaana
