mujhe ko mahrumi-e-nazaara qubul — Khumar Barabankavi

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

hairat hai tum ko dekh ke masjid mein ai 'khumaar'
kyaa baat ho gai jo khudaa yaad aa gayaa

mire raahbar mujh ko gumraah kar de
sunaa hai ki manzil qarib aa gai hai

yaad karne pe bhi dost aae na yaad
doston ke karam yaad aate rahe

jhunjhlaae hain lajaae hain phir muskuraae hain
kis ehtimaam se unhein ham yaad aae hain

duaa ye hai na hon gumraah ham-safar mere
'khumaar' main ne to apnaa safar tamaam kiyaa
