Kya Guman Tha Ki Na Hoga Koi Ham-Sar Apna

kya guman tha ki na hoga koi ham-sar apna

din Dhale saaya muqabil hua baḌh kar apna

ghar se nalan the magar dekhi hai duniya ham ne

hai agar koi aman-gah to bas ghar apna

dard pe kaisa sharar ban ke uTha pahlu men

ham to yuun ḳhush the ki dil kar liya patthar apna

rat-bhar koi na so.e to sune shor-e-fughan

chand ko dard sunata hai samundar apna

dukh uTha.e to bahut rang ḳhud apne dekhe

kam qayamat se na tha jo bhi tha manzar apna

roz-o-shab apne kisi se nahin milte hain ‘kamal’

ham to laa.e hain alag sab se muqaddar apna
