kyaa gham agar yazid rahaa eqtidaar mein — Yahya Amjad

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

kab Thahregaa dard ai dil kab raat basar hogi
sunte the vo aaeinge sunte the sahar hogi

tabibon ki tavajjoh se maraz hone lagaa duunaa
davaa is dard ki batlaa dil-e-aagaah kyaa kiije

phir na darmaan kaa kabhi naam 'mubaarak' lenaa
kufr hai dard-e-mohabbat kaa mudaavaa karnaa
