main khushi mein ghir ke udaas huun — Ibn

aankhon mein khvaab chubhan sone nahin deti hai
ek muddat se hamein tu ne jagaa rakkhaa hai

ham yunhi khvaab bunte rahte hain
khel saaraa qazaa kaa hotaa hai

aise khud ko aziyyatein denaa
tu ne 'farrukh' kahaan se sikhaa hai

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

aadat ke baa'd dard bhi dene lagaa mazaa
hans hans ke aah aah kiye jaa rahaa huun main

aadhi se ziyaada shab-e-gham kaaT chukaa huun
ab bhi agar aa jaao to ye raat baDi hai

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