dast-e-talab daraaz ziyaada na kar sake — Zain Ramish

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

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

baDe qalaq ki baat hai ki tum ise na paDh sake
hamaari zindagi to ik khuli hui kitaab thi

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