is tarah zindagi ne diya hai hamara sath
jaise koi nibah raha ho raqib se

kis darja dil-shikan the mohabbat ke hadse
hum zindagi mein phir koi arman na kar sake

le de ke apne pas faqat ek nazar to hai
kyun dekhen zindagi ko kisi ki nazar se hum

Sahir Ludhianvi

main zindagi ka sath nibhata chala gaya
har fikr ko dhuen mein uData chala gaya

umr-e-daraaz mang ke lai thi chaar din
do aarzu mein kaT gae do intizar mein

a long life, four days in all, I did negotiate
two were spent in hope and two were spent in wait

kaTti hai aarzu ke sahaare pe zindagi
kaise kahun kisi ki tamanna na chahiye

aDi talash se milti hai zindagi ai dost
qaza ki tarah pata puchhti nahin aati
