gham-e-jahan mein gham-e-yar zam na kar paya
hazar kaam kiya main ko ham na kar paya
mujhe sarab mein manzil dikhai deti thi
so girte paDte bhi raftar kam na kar paya
wo din bhi dekhe hain main ne ki ek luqma-e-tar
dahan tak aaya supurd-e-shikam na kar paya
mujhe ye dukh ki bichhaDne ka waqt tha hi nahin
use malal ki izhaar-e-gham na kar paya
na pas koh-e-nida tha na hath mein banduq
so lauh-e-waqt pe dukhDa raqam na kar paya
kisi ka milna, bichhaDna aur ek do baaten
tamam silsila zeb-e-qalam na kar paya
KHuda ka aks aur us par jamal-e-yar ka aks
faqir mar gaya pani pe dam na kar paya
Ghazal
Gham-e-jahan mein gham-e-yar zam na kar paya
