Another Mortal Life

 Is shab ke muqaddar mein sahar hi nahin 'mohsin' 

dekha hai kai baar charaaghon ko bujha kar.

(Mohsin Naqwi)

Sleepless, found my own meaning in it, which may be grossly different from the one intended by the poet.

Har kahaani mein koe kahaani aur hai

Vo zindagii aur thi, ye zindgaani aur hai

Har shikwa samjhne ka dawa hai udhar 

Shikwon se juda kayi pareshani aur hai

Mili mujhe do zindagi dono hi do-rangi

Ik ki to gayi umar ik me jawaani aur hai

Poochha khud se to ye jawaab mila

Abhi samjhoge nhi abhi nadaani aur hai

Saans ko meri gar tu hi chalaata hai

Baki kitni bata ye ab aani jaani aur hai

बहुत तो होते हैं चार दिन माना

अपने होते तो होती बात कुछ

[फ़िराक साहब तो पढ़ेंगे नहीं :D ]

Version 1:

Tere na hone ka jo bhi Suboot rakhta hoo.n main

Kaise Usmein bhi tera wujood dhundh lete hain log!

.......

Version 2:

Kaise Usmein bhi Tera wujood dhundh lete hain log

- Tere na hone ka jo bhi suboot rakhta hoo.n main.

Which one sounds better?

Hai puchhta bhi kaun tujhe zamaane mein -

Tanhaai fir bhi bada intezaar karaaya tune!
