harek shamma shamma'e'gham nahi hoti
harek gham ki shamma me halchal nahi hoti
hausla nahi charagar se kahne ka
hamari raat ki sahar nahi hoti
harek gham ki shamma me halchal nahi hoti
hausla nahi charagar se kahne ka
hamari raat ki sahar nahi hoti
ek jhalak pane ke lie jee rahen hain hum
unhe manzoor itni si guzarish nahi hoti
ehsaas'e'gham ki usse ummeed to karte lete
sirf khushiyun me jo usne zindagi bitayi nahi hoti
masroof hokar bhi teri tanhayi jaan leta hun
tune tanhai me hi awaaz di kabhi hoti
aksar sochte hain tu paresha to nahi
insaan ki dard se kabhi judaai nahi hoti
nasihat den to kya maan loge use
ishk me jism ki ahmiyat nahi hoti
kitni rasm mangti hai muhabbaten humse
dosti me kuchh nibhane ki farmayish nahi hoti
kafir'o'but ki apni alag jagah hai
koi ghazal inke bina poori nahi hoti
apne maslahaat se khud ko door rakhte hain
har jagah sabki zarurat nahi hoti
kaise samjhayen apne khyalon ko hum
ashq ki shaam ki soorat nahi hoti
apni tasveer deke ehsaan dikhate hain vo
kaise kahen justaju ki itne se qasar nahi hoti
hume to maut ke haal pe rona aa gaya
qaza ko bhi zindagi naseeb nahi hoti
kaun kahta hai yahan beshumaar aadmi hai
hume to soorat kisi ki dikhayi nahi deti
ek to furqat ki zindagi uspe sabr'e'imtihaan
tanhai ko bhi tanhai mayassar nahi hoti
apne aap se vafa nibha jaate hum
khud ko ek khushi jo dilayi hoti
hamari justaju ki zuba yun na thamti
ek ummeed to hume bandhai hoti
tanhaiyaan ruswaiyaan ghamgeeniyan
e Khuda koi doosri dunia bhi banai hoti
naseeb'e'gham hi naseeb'e'zindagi hai
baat ye kisi ne to dohrai hoti
hamare nagmo ko jo kagzon me rakhta hai
kaash uske dil me humne jagah banayi hoti
humse sharton pe rishta karte rahe sab
koi shart tumne bhi batayi hoti
kya yaqi dilayen tumhe apni khushi ka
hume apne dard ki hi khabar nahi hoti
ek khali kamre si hai zindagi hamari
bus gumnamiyon se baaten ho rahi hoti
itna ghamgeen nahi jitna samjhte ho tum
kuchh roz se tabiyaat theek nahi rahti
kuchh unke sitam kuchh unke karam
zindagi ki kashti inhi me hai tairti
ek ehsaan unka hum unki zindagi me
hume isi baat se badi gairat hai rahti
falak pe chaand to roz aata hai
kaash isi se mohobaat humne ki rahi hoti
teri yaadon ko bhi dunia juda kar chuki hoti "kaash"
jo dil me tere ek bhi shikayat rahi hoti
-"kaash"
