Yun maana zindagi hai chaar din ki - Firaq Gorakhpuri

Yun maana zindagi hai chaar din ki
Bahut hote hain yaaro chaar din bhi

Khuda ko pa gaya waaiz magar hai
Zaroorat aadmi ko aadmi ki

Basaa auqaat dil se kah gai hai

Bahut kuchh wo nigaah-e-mukhtasar bhi

Mila hoon muskura kar us se har baar
Magar aankhon mein bhi thi kuch nami si

Muhabbat mein karein kya haal dil ka
Khushi hi kaam aati hai na gham hi

Bhari mehfil mein har ek se bachakar
Teri aankhon ne mujh se baat kar li

Ladakapan ki adaa hai jaanleva
Gazab ki chokari hai hath-bhar ki

Raqeeb-e-ghamazada ab sabr kar le
kabhi  is se meri bhi dosti thi
