umiden miT gain ab ham-nafas kya
nasheman ki KHushi ranj-e-qafas kya
basar kanTon mein ho jab zindagani
bahaar-e-KHanda-e-gul yak-nafas kya
meri diwangi kyun baDh rahi hai
bahaar aai chaman mein ham-nafas kya
na ho jab rang-e-azadi chaman mein
to phir andesha-e-qaid-e-qafas kya
bahaar-e-nau ki phir hai aamad aamad
chaman ujDa koi phir ham-nafas kya
Ghazal
Umiden miT gain ab ham-nafas kya
