jama ham ne kiyaa hai gham dil mein — Jaun Elia

ek hi to havas rahi hai hamein
apni haalat tabaah ki jaae

aaj bahut din baa'd main apne kamre tak aa niklaa thaa
juun hi darvaaza kholaa hai us ki khushbu aai hai

shishe ke is taraf se main sab ko tak rahaa huun
marne ki bhi kisi ko fursat nahin hai mujh mein

main ab har shakhs se uktaa chukaa huun
faqat kuchh dost hain aur dost bhi kyaa

vo jo na aane vaalaa hai naa us se mujh ko matlab thaa
aane vaalon se kyaa matlab aate hain aate honge

bahut nazdik aati jaa rahi ho
bichhaDne kaa iraada kar liyaa kyaa

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

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

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

dard aur dard bhi judaai kaa
aise bimaar ki duaa kab tak

munh chhupaanaa paDe na dushman se
ai shab-e-gham sahar na ho jaae
