gham-e-hayat mein jaise bhi zindagi ki hai
tumhaari yaad to lekin kabhi kabhi ki hai

jo gham mila tha to ye chaha gham-e-ziyaad mile
siyah shab mein tamanna-e-raushni ki hai

hayat sath mein lai hai maut ka saman
kisi ne hum se bahut khub dil-lagi ki hai

ye gham ki raat nahin jis ki intiha koi
tere baghair basar kuchh ajib si ki hai

nigah-e-yar ka is mein koi qusur nahin
ki hum ne dil ki kharabi to aap hi ki hai
