'ghamgin' jo ek aan pe tere adaa huaa — Ghamgeen Dehlvi

vo lutf uThaaegaa safar kaa
aap-apne mein jo safar karegaa

jaam le kar mujh se vo kahtaa hai apne munh ko pher
ru-ba-ru yuun tere mai piine se sharmaate hain ham

mujhe jo dosti hai us ko dushmani mujh se
na ikhtiyaar hai us kaa na meraa chaaraa hai

meri ye aarzu hai vaqt-e-marg
us ki aavaaz kaan mein aave

haath se mere vo piitaa nahin muddat se sharaab
yaaro kyaa apni khushi main ne pilaanaa chhoDaa

kiyaa badnaam ik aalam ne 'ghamgin' paak-baazi mein
jo main teri tarah se bad-nazar hotaa to kyaa hotaa

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

minnat-e-chaara-saaz kaun kare
dard jab jaan-navaaz ho jaae

hamaare sher hain ab sirf dil-lagi ke 'asad'
khulaa ki faaeda arz-e-hunar mein khaak nahin
