Zara Suniye

Suna hai yeh zindagi aabaad karti hai
Yeh bhii suna hai ke zindagi barbaat karti hai

Har raah pe manzil ke muntazir ke nishaan
Har raah magar muflis ko na-muraad karti hai

Muskurahato ke liye koi jagah nahi is mein
Dard-e-gamh ki gehraayi hi dil shaad karti hai

Jisko wafa ke mayine ki kuch khabar nahi
Naadaan-e-mohabbat ussi pe eitmaad karti hai

Ik nazar aake bheega daaman dekh le vo
Jaan jaayenge meri aankh unko yaad karti hai

Roz ik umeed banti hai aayegi unko hamaari yaad
Roz yeh umeed hamaare dil se khilwaad karti hai

Maut ko bhii aa gaya taras hamaare haal pe
Dekhiye kis adaa se vo zindagi se ittihaad karti hai

Hontho tak aati hai aakhiri saans aur laut jaati hai
Zindagi jab jab chand lamho ki fariyaad karti hai

Dar par qazaa, aankho ko zindagi ka intezaar ‘deep’
Dekhna hai kaunsi balaa humko aazaad karti hai
