aur kuchh der gham nazar mein rakh — Bakul Dev

vahi aansu vahi maazi ke qisse
jise dekho kaTe ko kaaTtaa hai

havas shaamil hai thoDi si duaa mein
abhi is lau mein halkaa saa dhuaan hai

shaam utri hai phir ahaate mein
jism par raushni ke ghaav liye

taalluq tark to kar lein sabhi se
bhale lagte hain kuchh nuqsaan lekin

baad muddat ye jilaa kis ke hunar ne bakhshi
baad muddat mire aaine mein chehre aae

aaine mein hai phir vahi surat
yuun hi hoti hai tarjumaani kyaa

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

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

baarish ke baa'd raat saDak aaina si thi
ik paanv paaniyon pe paDaa chaand hil gayaa

nur-e-sahar kahaan hai agar shaam-e-gham gai
kab iltifaat thaa ki jo khu-e-sitam gai

koi shikva na gham na koi yaad
baiThe baiThe bas aankh bhar aai
