ab bataao jaayegii zindagii kahaan yaaro - Himayat Ali Shayar

ab bataao jaayegii zindagii kahaan yaaro

phir hain barq kii nazaren suu-e-aashiyaan yaaro

ab na koii manzil hai aur na rahguzar koii

jaane qaafilaa bhatake ab kahaan kahaan yaaro

phuul hain ki laashen hain baag hai ki maqtal hai

shaakh shaakh hotaa hai daar kaa gumaan yaaro

maut se guzar kar ye kaisii zindagii paaii

fikr paa-ba-jaulaan hai gung hai zabaan yaaroo

turbaton kii shamayen hain aur gaharii khaamoshii

jaa rahe the kis jaanib aa gaye kahaan yaaro

raahazan ke baare men aur kyaa kahuun khul kar

miir-e-kaaravaan yaaro miir-e-kaaravaan yaaro

sirf zindaa rahane ko zindagii nahiin kahate

kuchh gam-e-muhabbat ho kuchh gam-e-jahaan yaaro
