Gham ka bhi roop nirala hai

Hijr kii shab hai aur ujaalaa hai
Kyaa tasavvur bhii lutane vaalaa hai

Gam to hai ain zindagii lekin
Gam_gusaaro ne maar daalaa hai

Ishq majabuur-o-naamuraad sahii
Phir bhii zaalim kaa bol_baalaa hai

Dekh kar barq kii pareshaanii
Aashiyaan khud hii phuu.Nk daalaa hai

Kitane ashkon ko kitanii aaho.N ko
Ik tabassum mein us ne dhaalaa hai

Terii baato ko mai ne ai vaa_iz
Ahataraamaa hansii mein taalaa hai

Sher nazmen shaguftagii mastii
Gham kaa jo roop hai niraalaa hai

LagziisheN muskuraa_ii hain kyaa kyaa
Hosh ne jab mujhe sambhaalaa hai

Dam andhere mein ghut rahaa hai khumaar
Aur chaaro taraf ujaalaa hai
