kashish tujh si na thi tere ghamon mein — Bakul Dev

muskuraane kaa fan to baa'd kaa hai
pahle saaat kaa intikhaab karo

aaine mein hai phir vahi surat
yuun hi hoti hai tarjumaani kyaa

vahi aansu vahi maazi ke qisse
jise dekho kaTe ko kaaTtaa hai

havas shaamil hai thoDi si duaa mein
abhi is lau mein halkaa saa dhuaan hai

shaam utri hai phir ahaate mein
jism par raushni ke ghaav liye

samundar hai koi aankhon mein shaayad
kinaaron par chamakte hain guhar se

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

dil jo ummid-vaar hotaa hai
tir-e-gham kaa shikaar hotaa hai

ahvaal kyaa bayaan main karun haae ai tabib
hai dard us jagah ki jahaan kaa nahin ilaaj

gham mujhe naa-tavaan rakhtaa hai
ishq bhi ik nishaan rakhtaa hai
