tarz jeene kaa sikhatii hai mujhe  - Khalil ur Rahman Azmi

tarz jeene kaa sikhatii hai mujhe 
tashnagii zahar pilaatii hai mujhe 

[tarz=style; tashnagii=thirst] 

raat bhar rahatii hai kis baat kii dhun 
na jagaatii hai na sulaatii hai mujhe 

rooThataa hooN jo kabhii duniyaa se 
zindagii aake manaatii hai mujhe 

aa_iinaa dekhooN to kyooNkar dekhooN 
yaad ik shaKhs kii aatii hai mujhe 

baNd karataa hooN jo aaNkheN kyaa kyaa 
roshanii sii nazar aatii hai mujhe 

ko_ii mil jaaye to raastaa kaT jaaye 
apanii parachaa_ii Daraatii hai mujhe 

ab to ye bhool gayaa kis kii talab 
des parades phiraatii hai mujhe 

[talab=desire] 

kaise ho Khatm kahaanii Gam kii 
ab to kuchh neeNd sii aatii hai mujhe
