badhate chale gae jo vo manzil ko pa gae
main pattharon se paanv bachaane mein rah gaya
saathee mire kahaan se kahaan tak pahunch gae
main zindagee ke naaz uthaane mein rah gaya
ye mere saathee hain pyaare saathee magar inhen bhee nahin gavaara
main apanee vahashat ke maqabare se naee tamanna ke khvaab dekhoon
ye to sach hai ki vo sitamagar hai
dar par aaya hai to amaan mein rakh
marahale aur aane vaale hain
teer apana abhee kamaan mein rakh
is mahafil mein main bhee kya bebaak hua
aib o hunar ka saara parda chaak hua
tazkira ho tira zamaane mein
aisa pahaloo koee bayaan mein rakh
yahaan ham ne kisee se dil lagaaya hee nahin manzar
ki is duniya se aakhir ek din be-zaar hona tha
har baar hee main jaan se jaane mein rah gaya
main rasm-e-zindagee jo nibhaane mein rah gaya
suna ye tha bahut aasooda hain saahil ke baashinde
magar tootee huee kashtee mein dariya paar hona tha
sher of Umair Manzar
