bahut milaa na milaa zindagii se gam kyaa hai - faiz ahmed faiz

bahut milaa na milaa zindagii se gam kyaa hai

mataa-e-dard baham hai to besh-o-kam kyaa hai

ham ek umr se vaaqif hain ab na samajhaao

ke lutf kyaa hai mere meharabaaN sitam kyaa hai

kare na jag men alaav to sher kis maqasad

kare na shahar men jal-thal to chashm-e-nam kyaa hai

ajal ke haath koii aa rahaa hai paravaanaa

na jaane aaj kii feharist men raqam kyaa hai

sajaao bazm gazal gaao jaam taazaa karo

bahut sahii gam-e-getii sharaab kam kyaa hai

lihaaz men koii kuchh duur saath chalataa hai

vagarnaa dahar men ab Khizr kaa bharam kyaa hai
