jins-e-giran thi KHubi-e-qismat nahin mili
bikne ko hum bhi aae the qimat nahin mili
hangam-e-roz-o-shab ke mashaghil the aur bhi
kuchh karobar zist se fursat nahin mili
kuchh dur hum bhi sath chale the ki yun hua
kuchh masalon pe un se tabiat nahin mili
ek aanch thi ki jis se sulagta raha wajud
shoala sa jag uTThe wo shiddat nahin mili
wo be-hisi thi KHushk hua sabza-e-umid
barse jo subh-o-sham-o-chahat nahin mili
KHwahish thi justuju bhi thi diwangi na thi
sahra-naward ban ke bhi wahshat nahin mili
wo raushni thi sae bhi tahlil ho gae
aaina-ghar mein apni bhi surat nahin mili
Ghazal
Jins-e-giran thi KHubi-e-qismat nahin mili
