banaai ek hi donon ki surat kaahish-e-gham ne — Taufeeq Hyderabadi

kiyaa hai aaj vaada kis ne aane kaa khudaa jaane
nazar aataa hai chashm-e-shauq darvaaza mire ghar kaa

sahar ke saath hogaa chaak meraa daaman-e-hasti
ba-rang-e-shama bazm-e-dahr mein mehmaan huun shab bhar kaa

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

sitam to ye hai ki main ne use bhi chhoD diyaa
jo sab ko chhoD ke tanhaa khaDaa hai mere saath

aavaazon kaa bojh uThaae sadiyon se
banjaaron ki tarah guzaara kartaa huun

gham se nisbat hai jinhein zabt-e-alam karte hain
ashk ko zinat-e-daamaan nahin hone dete
