Jin dinon gham ziyaada hota hai

jin dinon gham ziyaada hota hai
aankh mein nam ziyaada hota hai

kuchh to hassas hum ziyaada hain
kuchh wo barham ziyaada hota hai

dard dil ka bhi koi Thik nahin
KHud-baKHud kam ziyaada hota hai

sab se pahle unhen jhukate hain
jin mein dam-KHam ziyaada hota hai

qais par zulm to hua 'basir'
phir bhi matam ziyaada hota hai
