khushi bhi ab sarapa gham lage hai
tawajjoh aap ki kuchh kam lage hai

koi hamdam nahin duniya mein lekin
jise dekho wahi hamdam lage hai

main hun majbur apne dil se mujh ko
paraya gham bhi apna gham lage hai

bahaaren hain chaman mein gul ba-daman
khizan ka sa magar mausam lage hai

jidhar dekho udhar shabnam ke aansu
chaman kya hai saf-e-matam lage hai

har ek majbur se kah do ye 'asad'
har ek maghrur ka sar kham lage hai
