Umr guzri hai teray sath meray dost
Tu nahi teri yaad tu hai meray dost
Tera piyar, teri nafrat, teray badaltay tevar
Meray ehsas ka hissa hain ye lamhay saray
Tera ishq-e-junon khez, phir mil kar bichar jana
Ab teri yaad ka qissa hain ye jazbay saray
Tu yaheen hai, meri yaadon kay shabistanooon main
Tu nahi hai tu meri raaton kay veranoon main
Sham hotay hi teri yadon main kho jata hon
Jagtay jagtay janay kab so jata hon
I have lost a lot of my published and unpublished work over the years to diaries, computer hard drives and, lately, to memory sticks. It seems only appropriate to find a home for my work on the world wide web for friends to see where was I going with my thoughts, when I am finally gone! You will see some samples of my shairi as well. -- A. Salahuddin
