zindagi raazi nahin thi gham uThaane ke liye — Urmila Madhav

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

yakka ulaT ke rah gayaa ghoDaa bhaDak gayaa
kaali saDak pe chaand saa chehra chamak gayaa

tasadduq hone vaale pis na jaaein
uThaae haath se daaman ko chaliye

sar se dayaar-e-gham ke sanichar utaar de
mangal hai jis mein jaa ke vo jangal uThaa to laa
