kyaa gham agar yazid rahaa eqtidaar mein — Yahya Amjad

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-o-karb-o-alam se duur apni zindagi kyuun ho
yahi jiine kaa saamaan hain to phir in mein kami kyuun ho

gham na apnaa na ab khushi apni
yaani duniyaa badal gai apni

kahaan rah jaae thak kar rah-navard-e-gham khudaa jaane
hazaaron manzilein hain manzil-e-aaraam aane tak
