tuu nahii.n to zindagii mai.n aur kyaa rah jaayegaa
Iftikhar Imam Siddiqui
tuu nahii.n to zindagii mai.n aur kyaa rah jaayegaa
duur tak tanhaaiiyo.n kaa silasilaa rah jaayegaa
dard kii sarii tahe.n aur saare guzare haadase
sab dhuaa.N ho jaaye.nge ek vaaqiyaa rah jaayegaa
yuu.N bhii hogaa vo mujhe dil se bhulaa degaa magar
ye bhii hogaa Khud usii me.n ek Khalaa rah jaayegaa
daayar-e-inkaar ke iqaraar kii saragoshiyaa.N
ye agar TuuTe kabhii to faasalaa rah jaayegaa
bhule bichre ko woh rah kaha milti hai,
bichar jane wale ko panha kaha milti hai,
taj mahal banane ki himmat ham bhi rakhte hai,
magar hame vaisi mumtaz kaha milti hai.
