Bazyaft

guzre hue mah o sal ke gham

tanhai shab mein jag uTThe hain

umr-e-rafta ki justuju mein

ashkon ke charagh jal rahe hain

aasaish-e-zindagi ki hasrat

mazi ka naqsh ban chuki hai

haalat ki na-guzir talKHi

ek ek nafas mein bas gai hai

nakaami-e-arzu ko dil ne

taslim o raza ke nam baKHshe

milne ki KHushi bichhaDne ka gham

kya kya the fareb-e-zindagi ke

ek umr mein ab samajh sake hain

KHushiyon ka fusun gurez pa hai

ab tark dua ki manzilen hain

daman-e-talab simaT chuka hai

nakaami-e-shauq miTte miTte

jine ka shuur de gai hai

ye gham hai nawae shab ka hasil

ye dard mata-e-zindagi hai

ujDi hui har rawish chaman ki

deti hai suragh rang o bu ka

viran hain zindagi ki rahen

raushan hai charagh aarzu ka
