birthday

was my birthday recently. got to penning down some lines.

Janam din

Har ek saal, janam din ki rasm
Khushi se manathe, khaathe hai kasm

Chalthe chalthe, beeth gayi jaisi ek sadee
Zindagi se kya hum ho gaye aadee

Kya hai haqeeqat, kya hai fasaanah
Humi se hum kya ho gayen hai begaanah

Phir bhi hai, maan mein ek aarzoo
Jab roz hoti hai, aaine se roo-ba-roo

Saame saaf hai maqsaad, ab lagaoo nishaan
Na mein chanchal, na mein pareshaan

Khuda ki hai likhi, meri farz, meri kismat
Duniya ke saamne, karo karo karo kidmat

Har ek saal, janam din ki rasm
Khushi se manayenge, khayeenge aur kasm
