gam-e-dil ab kisee ke bas ka nahin
kya dava kya dua kare koee
tum azeez aur tumhaara gam bhee azeez
kis se kis ka gila kare koee
vo poochhate hain dil-e-mubtala ka haal aur ham
javaab mein faqat aansoo bahae jaate hain
mira vajood haqeeqat mira adam dhoka
fana kee shakl mein sar-chashma-e-baqa hoon main
bedard mujh se sharah-e-gam-e-zindagee na poochh
kaafee hai is qadar ki jie ja raha hoon main
us ne is andaaz se dekha mujhe
zindagee bhar ka gila jaata raha
ab vo peeree mein kahaan ahad-e-javaanee kee umang
rang maujon ka badal jaata hai saahil ke qareeb
ab kyoon gila rahega mujhe hijr-e-yaar ka
be-taabiyon se lutf uthaane laga hoon main
too hai bahaar to daaman mira ho kyoon khaalee
ise bhee bhar de gulon se tujhe khuda kee qasam
gazab hai ye ehasaas vaarastagee ka
ki tujh se bhee khud ko baree chaahata hoon
