kuchh is tarah se guzari hai zindagi jaise
tamam umr kisi dusre ke ghar mein raha
Ahmad Faraz
tere baghair bhi to ghanimat hai zindagi
KHud ko ganwa ke kaun teri justuju kare
Ahmad Faraz
zindagi phaili hui thi sham-e-hijran ki tarah
kis ko itna hausla tha kaun ji kar dekhta
Ahmad Faraz
zindagi! tujh sa munafiq bhi koi kya hoga
tera shahkar hun aur tera hi mara hua hun
Ahmad Fareed
maut KHamoshi hai chup rahne se chup lag jaegi
zindagi aawaz hai baaten karo baaten karo
Ahmad Mushtaq
zindagi shama ki manind jalata hun 'nadim'
bujh to jaunga magar subah to kar jaunga
Ahmad Nadeem Qasmi
mujhe KHabar nahin gham kya hai aur KHushi kya hai
ye zindagi ki hai surat to zindagi kya hai
