main apne gham-khaana-e-junun mein — Qabil Ajmeri

rang-e-mahfil chaahtaa hai ik mukammal inqalaab
chand shamon ke bhaDakne se sahar hoti nahin

raasta hai ki kaTtaa jaataa hai
faasla hai ki kam nahin hotaa

ab ye aalam hai ki gham ki bhi khabar hoti nahin
ashk bah jaate hain lekin aankh tar hoti nahin

ham badalte hain rukh havaaon kaa
aae duniyaa hamaare saath chale

tum na maano magar haqiqat hai
ishq insaan ki zarurat hai

vaqt kartaa hai parvarish barson
haadisa ek dam nahin hotaa

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

mire aibon ko ginvaayaa to sab ne
kisi ne meri gham-khvaari nahin ki

hamaare she'r naghme aur sajde
adaa jo ho na paae kyaa hue vo

zindagi kaa har ik gham uThaate hue
main sanbhalne lagaa laDkhaDaate hue
