aye zindagi chord kyun nahi deti tu mera saath

aye zindagi chord kyun nahi deti tu mera saath,
ab tootne ko is dil me konsa armaan baki hai.

kabhi-kabhi sochta hoon ki khud hi chal du apni maut se milne,
par mujh pe ab bhi apno ke kiye huye kuch ehsaan baki hai.

kehte hain log ki bhool jaau purani yaadon ko main,
par aisi hi kuch yaadon ke sahare to is jism me ek jaan baki hai.

saath waqt ke log badle, mausam badle aur khayal bhi badal gaye,
ab bhi dil ke kisi kone me, siskiyan bharta ek dard bezubaan baki hai.

ek teri khatir har rishte ko bhoola diya maine aye humsafar,
kaash saath diya hota toone, 

warna mujhe tadpaane ko to saara jahaan baki hai.

jaane kya tha kasoor mera ki har khushi khafa ho gayi mujhse,
khuda kehta hai ki tere hisse me ab sirf shamshaan jana baki hai.

beraham si hai zindgi, aur ye waqt sab sehna to sikha deta hai,
par khamosh aankhein bharke, dil par ab bhi zakhmo ke kuch nishaan baki hai…
