Yeh dil ke zakhm nahin

Ibteda woh thi keh jeena tha mohabbat mein mohal
inteha yeh hai keh ab marna bhi mushkil ho gaya


Yeh dil ke zakhm nahin, Jigar ke daagh hain
rah-e-hayaat mein shama jala raha hai koi


Dekh zindaaN ke pare, rang-e-chaman josh-e-bahaar,
raq's karna hai to phir paon ki zanjeer na dekh


Rok sakta hameiN zidaan-e-balaa kya hai Majrooh
hum to aawaz haiN deewaroN se chan jaate hain


Muntazir haiN phir mere hadse zamaaane ke
phir mera junuN teri bazm mein ghazal khuwaN hai


Yeh niyaaz-e-gham khuwari yeh shikast-e-dildaari
bus nawazish-e-jaanaaN dilbahut pareshaaN hai


Dehar meiN majrooh koi jaavedaaN mazmooN kahaN
maiN jise choota gaya woh jaavedaaN banta gaya


Jis taraf chal pade hum aabla paayan-e-shauq
khaar se gul aur gul se gulistaan banta gaya


Mujh ko to hosh nahiN tum ko khabar ho shaayad
log kehate haiN ki tum ne mujhe barbaad kiyaa


Tamaam mehfil ke rubaru go uThaaeiN nazareN milaai aaNkheN
samajh saka ek bhi na lekin sawaal mera jawaab tera
