Aadat se unki dil ko KHushi bhi hai gham bhi hai

aadat se un ki dil ko KHushi bhi hai gham bhi hai
ye lutf hai sitam bhi hai uzr-e-sitam bhi hai

ulfat mujhe jatate ho dil mein bhi dard hai
rone ka munh banate ho aankhon mein nam bhi hai

is but ka wasl tha to KHudai ka aish tha
ye jaante na the ki zamane mein gham bhi hai

taskin mere dil ki aur us bewafa ka qaul
dil mein fareb bhi hai labon par qasam bhi hai

ab aao mil ke so rahen takrar ho chuki
aankhon mein nind bhi hai bahut raat kam bhi hai

naumidi bhi hai wasl se us ke umid bhi
kuchh dard-e-dil baDha bhi hai kuchh ranj kam bhi hai

ye baat gar na ho to kare kaun hausla
milna kisi ka sahl bhi hai aur alam bhi hai

jata hai shak bhi kar gaya hai wahm mein wo shoKH
kuche mein ghair hi ke nishan-e-qadam bhi hai

baham tapak bhi hain kabhi ranjishen bhi hain
lutf-o-karam bhi hai kabhi jaur-o-sitam bhi hai

aa jaen wo magar mujhe aata nahin yaqin
qasid ka jo hai qaul wo KHat mein raqam bhi hai

bigDe hue hain aaj KHuda KHair hi kare
kuchh bal bhi hai jabin pe kuchh abru pe KHam bhi hai

mar jate hum to kab ke ajal dekhti hai tu
fursat kisi ke gham se hamein koi dam bhi hai

kahne ko do makan hain kin to hai ek hi
bait-us-sanam hai jo wahi bait-ul-haram bhi hai

yun kah ke bhul jaana ye KHu aap hi ki hai
mujh ko wo yaad ahd bhi hai wo qasam bhi hai

jab kuchh kahun to kahte hain ye phir sununga main
phir aisa koi waqt bhi hai koi dam bhi hai

kaisa visal o hijr agar fahm hai 'nizam'
har haal mein juda bhi hai wo aur baham bhi hai
