sulh jis se rahi meri taa-zindagi — Zehra Nigaah

kahaan ke ishq-o-mohabbat kidhar ke hijr o visaal
abhi to log taraste hain zindagi ke liye

jo dil ne kahi lab pe kahaan aai hai dekho
ab mahfil yaaraan mein bhi tanhaai hai dekho

uTho ki jashn-e-khizaan ham manaaein ji bhar ke
bahaar aae gulistaan mein kab khudaa jaane

koi hangaama sar-e-bazm uThaayaa jaae
kuchh kiyaa jaae charaaghon ko bujhaayaa jaae

divaanon ko ab vusat-e-sahraa nahin darkaar
vahshat ke liye saaya-e-divaar bahut hai

dekho vo bhi hain jo sab kah sakte the
dekho un ke munh par taale ab bhi hain

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

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
