ye roz-marra ke kuchh vaaqiaat-e-shaadi-o-gham — Abdul Hamid Adam

saaqi mujhe sharaab ki tohmat nahin pasand
mujh ko tiri nigaah kaa ilzaam chaahiye

ijaazat ho to main tasdiq kar luun teri zulfon se
sunaa hai zindagi ik khub-surat daam hai saaqi

savaal kar ke main khud hi bahut pashemaan huun
javaab de ke mujhe aur sharmsaar na kar

marne vaale to khair hain bebas
jiine vaale kamaal karte hain

mai-kada hai yahaan sukun se baiTh
koi aafat idhar nahin aati

ai gham-e-zindagi na ho naaraaz
mujh ko aadat hai muskuraane ki

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

khun-e-jigar aankhon se bahaayaa gham kaa sahraa paar kiyaa
teri tamannaa ki kyaa ham ne jivan ko aazaar kiyaa

khat likh ke kabhi aur kabhi khat ko jalaa kar
tanhaai ko rangin banaa kyuun nahin lete

saaf jazbon ke havaale se to gham hain lekin
ek lamhe ki khushi ek sadi rahti hai
