Shiv's Asan Ta Joban Rute Marna

I have been looking for this poem for sometime. I wanted to read it but used to stop myself cause it reminds me the truth in my life. As much as i wish to run from it the truth always finds me...
Today i come back to this beautiful composition

Shiv Batalvi's Asan taan Joban Rute Marna

asaN taaN joban rutte marna
muRh jaana asaN bharey bharai
hijar tere di kar parkarma
asaN te joban rutte marna
joban rutte jo vi marda,
phull banney yaN tara.
joban rutte ashiq marda yaN koi karma wala.
yaN oh marn ke jehna likhai hijar dhuroN vich karma
hijar tuhada asaN mubarik naal bahishtiN khaRna.

sajjan ji,bhala kis lai jeena,
saadey jiha nikarma,
sootak(birth) rutt toN joban rutt takk
jehna handaiyaN sharmaN
jamnoN pehla audh(ummer) handaiye
phair handaiyee sharmaN
mar ke kariye ikk doojey di mitti di parkarma.

Par je mitti vi mar javey taaN jio ke ki karna.

Shiv's Mainu tera shabab

Hmmmm...... This ghazal reminds me of bygone times... i used to listen to this long long time ago...i still feel a little pain when ever i hear to this ghazal...

Shiv Kumar Batalvi's 'Mainu Tera Shabab'

Mainu tera shabab lai baitha
Rang gora gulab lai baitha
Vehel jad vi mili hai farzon taun
Vehel jad vi mili hai farzon taun
Tere mukh di kitab lai baitha

Mainu tera shabab lai baitha

Mainu Jad vi tussi ho yaad aaye
Mainu Jad vi tussi ho yaad aaye
Din dihare sharab lai baitha

Kinni beeti te kinni baki ae
Kinni beeti te kinni baki ae
Mainu eho hisab lai baitha

Mainu tera shabab lai baitha

Shiv nu ek gam te hi bharosa si
Gam to kora jawaab lai baitha

Mainu tera shabab lai baitha
Rang gora gulab lai baitha.
