zabt-e-gham kar bhi liyaa to kyaa kiyaa — Basit Bhopali

zaraa dariyaa ki tah tak to pahunch jaane ki himmat kar
to phir ai Dubne vaale kinaaraa hi kinaaraa hai

aah vo dil ki jise dard ki lazzat na mili
haae vo dard ki jis kaa huaa armaan mujh ko

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

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

nazar bachaa ke jo aansu kiye the main ne paak
khabar na thi yahi dhabbe baneinge daaman ke

bataa khud ko bhalaa kaise sanvaarun
mujhe gham aainon mein dikh rahaa hai
