ai maut! unhen bhulaaye zamaane guzar gaye - Khumar Barabankvi

ai maut! unhen bhulaaye zamaane guzar gaye

aa jaa ki zahar khaaye zamaane guzar gaye

O jaane vaale aa ki tere intazaar men

raste ko ghar banaaye zamaane guzar gaye

gam hai na ab khushii hai na ummiid hai na yaas

sab se najaat paaye zamaane guzar gaye

kyaa laayaq-e-sitam bhii nahiin ab main doston

patthar bhii ghar men aaye zamaane guzar gaye

jaane bahaar phuul nahiin aadamii huun main

aa jaa ki muskuraaye zamaane guzar gaye

kyaa kyaa tavaqqoat thii aahon se ai 'khumar'

ye tiir bhii chalaaye zamaane guzar gaye
