wo dil nahin raha wo zamana nahin raha

kahte hain umr-e-rafta kabhi lauTti nahin
ja mai-kade se meri jawani uTha ke la
tis said this fleeting life once gone never returns
go to the tavern and bring back my youth again
Abdul Hamid Adam
dil fasurda to hua dekh ke us ko lekin
umr bhar kaun jawan kaun hasin rahta hai
Ahmad Mushtaq
uDhon ke sath log kahan tak wafa karen
buDhon ko bhi jo maut na aae to kya karen
Akbar Allahabadi
ab wo piri mein kahan ahd-e-jawani ki umang
rang maujon ka badal jaata hai sahil ke qari
Hadi Machlishahri
KHamosh ho gain jo umangen shabab ki
phir jurat-e-gunah na ki hum bhi chup rahe
Hafeez Jalandhari
gudaz-e-ishq nahin kam jo main jawan na raha
wahi hai aag magar aag mein dhuan na raha
no longer am I young, love's passion still remains
the fire as yet burns, no smoke tho it contains
Jigar Moradabadi
