hamaare paas koi gardish-e-dauraan nahin aati — Zaheer Kashmiri

aah ye mahki hui shaamein ye logon ke hujum
dil ko kuchh biiti hui tanhaaiyaan yaad aa gaiin

hamein khabar hai ki ham hain charaagh-e-aakhir-e-shab
hamaare baa'd andheraa nahin ujaalaa hai

sirat na ho to aariz-o-rukhsaar sab ghalat
khushbu uDi to phuul faqat rang rah gayaa

koi dastak koi aahaT na shanaasaa aavaaz
khaak uDti hai dar-e-dil pe bayaabaan ki tarah

farz barson ki ibaadat kaa adaa ho jaise
but ko yuun puuj rahe hain ki khudaa ho jaise

kul kaaenaat fikr se aazaad ho gai
insaan misaal-e-dast-e-tah-e-sang rah gayaa

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

apne man mein Duub kar paa jaa suraagh-e-zindagi
tu agar meraa nahin bantaa na ban apnaa to ban

zindagi ke bahut qarib na jaa
faasla kuchh to apne dhyaan mein rakh

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

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

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai
