ek ajiib raag hai ek ajiib guftugu — Jameeluddin Aali

na tire sivaa koi likh sake na mire sivaa koi paDh sake
ye huruf-e-be-varaq-o-sabaq hamein kyaa zabaan sikhaa gae

kuchh chhoTe chhoTe dukh apne kuchh dukh apne azizon ke
in se hi jivan bantaa hai so jivan ban jaaegaa

jaise saahil se chhuDaa leti hain maujein daaman
kitnaa saada hai tiraa mujh se gurezaan honaa

tere khayaal ke divaar-o-dar banaate hain
ham apne ghar mein bhi teraa hi ghar banaate hain

ajnabiyon se dhoke khaanaa phir bhi samajh mein aataa hai
is ke liye kyaa kahte ho vo shakhs to dekhaa-bhaalaa thaa

jaane kyuun logon ki nazrein tujh tak pahunchin ham ne to
barson baa'd ghazal ki rau mein ik mazmun nikaalaa thaa
