saans letaa huun to dam ghuTtaa hai — Ayub Rumani

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

dard-e-dil ki intihaa thi zabt TuuTaa aur phir
aansuon kaa rang meri shaairi mein aa gayaa

muqarrar kar rakhi hai main ne apne aansuon ki had
mire dukh-dard kaa paikar miraa chehra nahin hotaa

agar maujein Dubo detin to kuchh taskin ho jaati
kinaaron ne Duboyaa hai mujhe is baat kaa gham hai
