tanhaaiyaan tumhaaraa pata puchhti rahin — Unknown

log kaanTon se bach ke chalte hain
main ne phulon se zakhm khaae hain

dil TuTne se thoDi si taklif to hui
lekin tamaam umr ko aaraam ho gayaa

duniyaa mein vahi shakhs hai taazim ke qaabil
jis shakhs ne haalaat kaa rukh moD diyaa ho

miri namaaz-e-janaaza paDhi hai ghairon ne
mare the jin ke liye vo rahe vazu karte

ye hamin hain ki tiraa dard chhupaa kar dil mein
kaam duniyaa ke ba-dastur kiye jaate hain

jin ke kirdaar se aati ho sadaaqat ki mahak
un ki tadris se patthar bhi pighal sakte hain

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

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

sitaaron se shab-e-gham kaa to daaman jagmagaa uThThaa
magar aansu bahaa kar hijr ke maaron ne kyaa paayaa

abhi talak hai sadaa paaniyon pe Thahri hui
agarche Duub chukaa hai pukaarne vaalaa

gham-e-dauraan mein kahaan baat gham-e-jaanaan ki
nazm hai apni jagah khuub magar haae ghazal
