than gaee!
maut se than gaee!
joojhane ka mera iraada na tha,
mod par milenge isaka vaada na tha,
raasta rokakar vah khadee ho gaee,
yon laga zindagee se badee ho gaee.
maut kee umar kya hai? do pal bhee nahin,
zindagee silasila, aajakal kee nahin.
main jee bhar jiya, main man se maroon,
lautakar aaoonga, kooch se kyon daroon?
too dabe paanv, choree-chhipe se na aa,
saamane vaar kar phir mujhe aazama.
maut se bekhabar, zindagee ka safar,
shaam har suramee, raat bansee ka svar.
baat aisee nahin ki koee gam hee nahin,
dard apane-parae kuchh kam bhee nahin.
pyaar itana paraayon se mujhako mila,
na apanon se baaqee hain koee gila.
har chunautee se do haath mainne kie,
aandhiyon mein jalae hain bujhate die.
aaj jhakajhorata tez toofaan hai,
naav bhanvaron kee baanhon mein mehamaan hai.
paar paane ka qaayam magar hausala,
dekh tevar toofaan ka, tevaree tan gaee.
maut se than gaee.
