Tamaasha-e-Zindagi

[TheDemonPrince]

Beete pal jo tere saath jiye hain,
Woh beete lamhe jo tujhse mulaqat se hain,
Arrson se guzre hai bin tere deedaar ke,
Jaane kya koi mere haalaat jazbaat ke hain,

Khushi ki main koi ilteja bhi kya karoon zindagi se mere,
Tujhme hi kahin gumm mere khayalaat se hain,
Aarzoo kya, tamanna kya hai zindagi ke tamaashe mein,
Dhool-o-mitti ki tarah sab barbaad hue hain,

Muafi namaazi kya maange dar-e-Khudaya mein,
Harr sajde mere naa-muraad hue hain,
Ashq bhi sookhe hain inn aankhon se ab mere,
Inn nigaahon se jaane kitne sailaab bahe hain..
