dekhiye meri 'umr hi kyaa hai — Tauheed Zeb

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

rumuz-e-vaqt ki pahli class mein bhi miraa
tamaam dhyaan thaa sarkaari naukri ki taraf

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

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

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

zindagi tu bhi hamein vaise hi ik roz guzaar
jis tarah ham tujhe barson se guzaare hue hain

afsos umr kaT gai ranj-o-malaal mein
dekhaa na khvaab mein bhi jo kuchh thaa khayaal mein

zindagi zor hai ravaani kaa
kyaa thamegaa bahaav paani kaa
