mera dam rahega jab tak ye hama-hami rahegi

mera dam rahega jab tak ye hama-hami rahegi
na mera gala rahega na teri chhuri rahegi
jo sitam raha rahega jo wafa rahi rahegi
na idhar kami rahegi na udhar kami rahe rahegi


teri mehrbaniyon se kai bar mar chuka hun
abhi aur bhi marunga jo ye zindagi rahegi
kabhi aap zakhm denge kabhi hum ghazal kahenge
jahan aap hum rahenge yahi dil-lagi rahegi


wo kisi ki anjuman ho koi sham'-e-anjuman ho
jise hum lahu na denge wo bujhi bujhi rahegi
tu saja bana ke zulfen yun akad ke kya chale hai
na bani rahi kisi ki na teri bani rahegi


jahan tum rahoge pyare wahan dard-e-dil rahega
jahan dard-e-dil rahega wahan sha'iri rahegi
ye to 'am mai-kada hai tera ghar nahin hai saqi
wo subu utha hi lega jise tishnagi rahegi


gham-e-dil gham-e-zamana gale mil gae hain 'ajiz'
jo ghazal bhi main kahunga badi chashni rahegi
