zindagi kaa har ik gham uThaate hue — Ahmed Arsalan

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

kar rahaa thaa gham-e-jahaan kaa hisaab
aaj tum yaad be-hisaab aae

suukh gai jab aankhon mein pyaar ki niili jhiil 'qatil'
tere dard kaa zard samundar kaahe shor machaaegaa

sadma to hai mujhe bhi ki tujh se judaa huun main
lekin ye sochtaa huun ki ab teraa kyaa huun main
