koi din sabr ke phir mundamil ho jaega gham
nishan rah jaega aur mustaqil ho jaega gham

kisi lambe safar mein sham ho jaegi gham ko
kahin ek rah takte muzmahil ho jaega gham

kise malum tha kaam aaegi sina-kharashi
aur is sine mein aakhir-kar dil ho jaega gham

ufuq par dubte dukh se sitare kah rahe hain
chamak utthenge hum jab muntaqil ho jaega gham

kisi fursat ki shab dil par udasi chhaegi aur
kisi masruf din par mushtamil ho jaega gham

tumhein hasrat se hum dekhenge aur tum muskurana
us ek lamhe mein jab aa kar mukhil ho jaega gham

chalegi yaad jab tanhai mein rauzan khulega
maza aa jaega jab munfail ho jaega gham

kahan khalwat mayassar aaegi kam-fursaton ko
juda hogi khushi to muttasil ho jaega gham

khushi ek dhundne niklega gham lekin achanak
baham ho kar kisi gham se khajil ho jaega gham
