Hum Bhi the Gosha-Gir Ki Gumnam the Bahut

Asif Jamal

ham bhi the gosha-gir ki gumnam the bahut

is tarz-e-zist men magar aram the bahut

duniya hai kar-ḳhana-e-vahm-o-guman tamam

sachche vahi fasane the jo aam the bahut

ḳhud apne iztirar-e-tabi.at se tang the

ham jo shikar-e-gardish-e-ayyam the bahut

lipTi rahi to sar-basar asrar thi vo zulf

khulti kabhi to us ke bhi paigham the bahut

ik umr tajrabat men guzri to ye khula

yaan azmuda-kar hi nakam the bahut
