jaada-e-gham mein aarzu ke sivaa — Saeed Soharwardi

vo judaa mujh se ho gayaa lekin
daagh dil se judaa nahin hotaa

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

gham-e-maujud ghalat aur gham-e-fardaa baatil
raahat ik khvaab hai jis ki koi taabir nahin

miri tanhaaiyon ko kaun samjhe
main saaya huun magar khud se judaa huun

ham gadaa-e-dar-e-mai-khaana hain ai pir-e-mughaan
kaam apnaa tire sadqe mein chalaa lete hain
