ye maanaa zindagii hai chaar din kii - Firaq Gorakhpuri

ye maanaa zindagii hai chaar din kii

bahut hote hain yaaro chaar din bhii

Khudaa ko paa gayaa vaaiz magar hai

zaruurat aadamii ko aadamii kii

milaa huun muskuraa ke us se har baar

magar aankhon men bhii thii kuchh namii sii thii

muhabbat men kahen kyaa haal dil kaa

Khushii hii kaam aatii hai na gam hii

bharii mahafil men har ek se bachaakar

terii aankhon ne mujh se baat kar lii

ladakapan kii adaa hai jaan-levaa

gazab kii chhokarii hai haath-bhar kii

raqiib-e-gamazadaa ab sabr kar le

kabhii us se merii bhii dostii thii
