Sab Usul-E-Zindagi Be-Kar Ho Ke Rah Gae

Nami Nadri

sab usul-e-zindagi be-kar ho ke rah ga.e

ham asir-e-kakul-e-dildar ho ke rah ga.e

hal-e-dil na-qabil iz.har ho ke rah gaya

ham kisi ke naḳhron se bezar ho ke rah ga.e

vo jo hirnon ki tarah chaukaḌiyan bharte the kabhi

vaqt ki raftar se lachar ho ke rah ga.e

jaane vaala chal basa dagh-e-juda.i de gaya

aur sab ahbab shabnam-bar ho ke rah ga.e

ba.is-e-ibrat hai kaise kaise qad-avar daraḳht

andhiy.on men vaqt ki hamvar ho ke rah ga.e

jo shagufe zinat-e-gulzar the sahab kabhi

phuul ban ke raunaq-e-bazar ho ke rah ga.e

ham samajhte the jinhen salar-e-amn-o-ashti

haif vo bhi surḳhi-e-aḳhbar ho ke rah ga.e

kya hamare saa.e men aram farma.e koi

ham to bas girti hui divar ho ke rah ga.e

kya shikayat kijiye ‘nami’ kisi begane ki

apne bhi to ba.is-e-azar ho ke rah ga.e
