be-tabi-e-gham-ha-e-darun kam nahin hogi
ye aag to ab tum se bhi maddham nahin hogi
daman ko ziya-e-ruKH-e-mahtab se bhar le
ab barish-e-anwar hai paiham nahin hogi
tu hi dil-e-betab jo so jae to so jae
ye chandni is raat to maddham nahin hogi
main un ke liye ghair hun wo mere liye ghair
achchha hai ki ab ranjish-e-baham nahin hogi
hum sab ko suna kar hi rahenge gham-e-hasti
aawaz kisi shor mein mudgham nahin hogi
ab qafila-e-zist hi ruk jae to ruk jae
ye dard ki lazzat to kabhi kam nahin hogi
Ghazal
Be-tabi-e-gham-ha-e-darun kam nahin hogi
Shahzad Ahmad
