Majrooh Sultanpuri
masarraton ko ye ahl-e-havas na kho dete
jo har khushi men tire gham ko bhi samo dete
kahan vo shab ki tire gesuon ke saae men
khayal-e-subh se ham astin bhigo dete
bahane aur bhi hote jo zindagi ke liye
ham ek baar tiri aarzu bhi kho dete
bacha liya mujhe tufan ki mauj ne varna
kinare vaale safina mira dubo dete
jo dekhte miri nazron pe bandishon ke sitam
to ye nazare miri bebasi pe ro dete
kabhi to yuun bhi umandte sarishk-e-gham ‘majruh’
ki mere zakhm-e-tamanna ke daagh dho dete
