ai gham-e-ishq tujh se haar gae — Taj Bhopali

vazn har chiiz ki tauqir baDhaa detaa hai
zindagi bojh sahi phir bhi uThaae rakhiye

tumhein kuchh bhi nahin maalum logo
farishton ki tarah maasum logo

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

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

hamaari maazarat ai gham ki muskuraa rahe hain
ham apnaa haath tiri pusht se haTaa rahe hain

itni na intishaar ki hiddat ho ru-ba-ru
insaan gham-e-hayaat mein jaltaa dikhaai de

jhuTi mahfil hai jhuTi tanhaai
ik tire 'ishq kaa bharam sachchaa
