sukun-e-dil ki talab mein jo be-qarar nahin

sukun-e-dil ki talab mein jo be-qarar nahin
wo apne dard-e-mohabbat se sharmsar nahin
khushi se kaun uthata hai gham zamane mein
ye jabr wo hai ki jis par kuchh ikhtiyar nahin


sab apni zat ki jaanib hain aaj garm-e-safar
koi kisi ke liye mahw-e-intizar nahin
kuchh is tarah teri chashm-e-karam ne luta hai
mujhe khud apni tabahi ka e'tibar nahin


nazar-fareb bahaaron se khelne wale
teri nazar mein abhi hasil-e-bahaar nahin
har ek gham ka mudawa hai khud-faramoshi
wo hoshiyar bahut hai jo hoshiyar nahin


jalao 'badr' shab-e-gham charagh ashkon ke
ki in chamakte sitaron ka e'tibar nahin
