ज़िन्दगी की सरसराहट...

हस्ती हमारी (Hasti Hamaari)

माफ़िक़ न सही हर रिश्ता निभाया है हमने
गैर ज़माना हुआ मगर साथ निभाया है हमने

आसान राहों से लोग छू लेते हैं आसमान
फ़र्ज़ की ज़मीं पर आशियाँ सजाया है हमने

लड़खड़ाए कभी गिरे मगर फिर चल दिए
ज़िन्दगी तेरा हर क़र्ज़ चुकाया है हमने

खुदा के वास्ते न करो ज़िक्र-ए-मंज़िल हमसे
बाकायदा राहों को मंज़िल बनाया है हमने

कोई तो बात है ज़िक्र अपना है हर ज़बान पर
चराग रोशन रहें घर अपना जलाया है हमने

Not Perfect, But True

Every bond, though flawed, I held till the end,
Though the world turned stranger—still, I remained a friend.

Some touch the sky on paths smooth and wide,
But I built my nest on duty’s rugged side.

I stumbled, I fell, yet rose once more,
Life—I’ve paid your debts down to the core.

Don’t speak to me of destinations, my dear,
I’ve turned each path into a goal, year after year.

There must be something in this tale of mine,
For every tongue repeats it—though this home was set on fire,
I made sure its lamps continued to shine.
