na teri yaad na duniyaa kaa gham na apnaa khayaal — Habib Jalib

kuchh aur bhi hain kaam hamein ai gham-e-jaanaan
kab tak koi uljhi hui zulfon ko sanvaare

sher se shaairi se Darte hain
kam-nazar raushni se Darte hain

duniyaa to chaahti hai yunhi faasle rahein
duniyaa ke mashvaron pe na jaa us gali mein chal

aane vaali barkhaa dekhein kyaa dikhlaae aankhon ko
ye barkhaa barsaate din to bin piritam be-kaar gae

kuchh log khayaalon se chale jaaein to soein
biite hue din raat na yaad aaein to soein

ik tiri yaad se ik tere tasavvur se hamein
aa gae yaad kai naam hasinaaon ke

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

ye saal tul-e-masaafat se chuur chuur gayaa
ye ek saal to guzraa hai ik sadi ki tarah

aisi taraqqi par to ronaa bantaa hai
jis mein dahshat-gard corona bantaa hai

aadat ke baa'd dard bhi dene lagaa mazaa
hans hans ke aah aah kiye jaa rahaa huun main
