jhunjhlaae hain lajaae hain phir muskuraae hain — Khumar Barabankavi

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

hairat hai tum ko dekh ke masjid mein ai 'khumaar'
kyaa baat ho gai jo khudaa yaad aa gayaa

mire raahbar mujh ko gumraah kar de
sunaa hai ki manzil qarib aa gai hai

yaad karne pe bhi dost aae na yaad
doston ke karam yaad aate rahe

haal-e-gham kah ke gham baDhaa baiThe
tiir maare the tiir khaa baiThe

duaa ye hai na hon gumraah ham-safar mere
'khumaar' main ne to apnaa safar tamaam kiyaa

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

ho gae din jinhein bhulaae hue
aaj kal hain vo yaad aae hue

tum se mile to khud se ziyaada
tum ko akelaa paayaa ham ne

kar kuchh aisaa ki tujhe yaad rakhun
bhuul jaane kaa taqaazaa hi sahi

chheDtaa kyuun hai khudaa ke liye sayyaad mujhe
nau-giraftaar huun aati nahin fariyaad mujhe

koi shikva na gham na koi yaad
baiThe baiThe bas aankh bhar aai
