Malal Hote Hue Dil Pe Kuchh Malal Nahin

Poet

malal hote hue dil pe kuchh malal nahin

ḳhayal-e-dost se achchha koi ḳhayal nahin

jise zaval na ho vo koi kamal nahin

kamal-e-gham ko hamare magar zaval nahin

jafa.en kar ke jo vo sust sust baiThe hain

unhen malal ye hai mujh ko kuchh malal nahin

ye kya nahin nigah-e-fitna-saz teri kami

hamare jazba-e-gham men ab ishti.al nahin

kaho ghamon se ki be-fikr ab dilon men rahen

ḳhushi ka aaj ki duniya men ehtimal nahin

ye aur baat taras hi na ho kisi dil men

chhupa hua to zamane se mera haal nahin

giri jo barq to apna bana raha hai mujhe

ye kya hai ‘ashk’ agar baghban ki chaal nahin
