mere gham ki haqiqat ka zamana raazdan kyon ho

mere gham ki haqiqat ka zamana raazdan kyon ho
nihan hai raaz jo dil mein wo ashkon se ayan kyon ho
sukun-e-mustaqil kyon ho nishat-e-jawedan kyon ho
jo dil mein dard hai wo bais-e-taskin-e-jaan kyon ho


chaman mein jis taraf dekho nasheman hi nasheman hain
thikana barq ka meri hi shakh-e-ashiyan kyon ho
zamin un ki zaman un ka makan-o-la-makan un ka
to ai naseh jabin-sai ko qaid-e-astan kyon ho


chaman ki pasbani mein lahu hum ne bahaya hai
hamare samne darham nizam-e-gulistan kyon ho
parastar-e-tajalli hun wafadar-e-mohabbat hun
main us se kyon karun shikwa wo mujh par mehrban kyon ho


rah-e-hasti ke pech-o-kham se hum ai 'dard' waqif hain
bhatak jae jo manzil se hamara karwan kyon ho
