gham-ha-e-rozgar se fursat nahin mujhe
main kaise kah dun tum se mohabbat nahin mujhe
apno ki sazishon se hi masruf-e-jang hun
ghairon se dushmani ki zarurat nahin mujhe
dil mein abhi chubhe hain wo alfaz tir se
tu ne kaha tha jab teri chahat nahin mujhe
pinhan hain kunj-e-dil mein kai dard-e-la-dawa
be-wajh muskurane ki aadat nahin mujhe
saughat-e-zaKHm-e-dil to muqaddar ki baat hai
ai yar tujh se koi shikayat nahin mujhe
tanhaiyon se mujh ko rifaqat si ho gai
'arif' siyah shab se bhi wahshat nahin mujhe
Ghazal
Gham-ha-e-rozgar se fursat nahin mujhe
Syed Mohammad Askari Arif
