fir zindagi...............

Fir zindagi ka hamne andaaz badalna chaaha,
Ja bangaya hoon, wo bhool kuch banana chaaha.

Zinda hain jaane kyon, kyon dard liye jeete hain,
Dhadkanon ne to waise kai baar tha rukna chaaha.

Kab bayaan-e-dard pe kaaboo raha tha mera,
Likhta raha main jo bhi dil ne hta likhna chaaha.

Taa-umr ye kadam ladkhadaate hi rahien hain,
Sach maano kayee baar hamne tha sambhalna chaaha.

Mil gaya mujhe wo sab jo chaahata tha main,
Wo na mila ki jis pe sab kuch tha gavaana chaaha.

Uske jaate bhi na maine mud ke dekha usko,
Dil ne mere tha maana kayee baar palatna chaaha.

Na chaah kar bhi rah-e-umr pe chalte rahe 'sky',
Kyon ruk gaye kadam jab dil ne tha chalna chaaha.
