Gulzar

Aane wala pal jaane wala hai,

Ho sake to isme zindagi bita lo, pal ye jo jaane wala hai.

Dino ke faasle badh rahe hain,

Jaise koi purani kitaab ka panna dhool mein kho raha ho.

Haath chhute bhi to rishtey nahi chhuta karte,

Waqt ki shaakh se lamhe nahi tuta karte.

Aey zindagi gale laga le,

Humne bhi tere har ek zakhm ko apna liya hai.

Zindagi sasti hai sahab, jeene ke tareeqe mahange hain,

Har lamha khush raho, kyunki kal kisne dekha hai.

Kuchh alag hi karna hai to wafa karo,

Warna dhokha to har koi de raha hai aajkal.

Bahut mushkil se seekha hai maine jeena,

Apne ghamon ko chhipa kar sabko hasana.

Waqt rahta nahi kahin tik kar,

Uski aadat bhi aadmion jaisi hai.

Shaam se aankh mein nami si hai,

Aaj phir aap ki kami si hai.

Benaam sa ye dard thahar kyun nahi jata,

Jo beet gaya hai wo guzar kyun nahi jata.

Chhota sa saaya tha dhoop mein chhota sa thikana,

Wo din bhi kya din the jab yaad tha sirf muskurana.

Humne aksar tumhari rahon mein palkon ko bichhaya hai,

Aur tumne bina dekhe hi humein aage badha diya.

Aap ke baad har ek subah pheeki lagti hai,

Jaise chai mein cheeni dalna bhool gaye hon.

Ek hi khwaab ne saari raat jagaya hai,

Jaise koi apna bahut door chala gaya hai.

Zindagi kya hai ek purani haveli jaisi,

Jahan har kone mein koi purani yaad basti hai.

Kitne ajeeb rishtey hain yahan log,

Sath rahte hain par dil milte nahi.

Khushboo jaise log mile the safar mein,

Jo chhu kar guzar gaye aur apni mahak chhod gaye.

Aankhon mein jo nami hai use rona mat samjho,

Ye to bas uski yaad ka ek chhota sa tohfa hai.

Chalo ab so jaate hain, subah phir uthna hai,

Usi purani zindagi ko phir se naye se jeena hai.

Gulzar ke shabdon mein dilon ka haal hai,

Jo har dukh ko bhi behad haseen bana deta hai.
