Ye Dhoka Ho Na Ho Ummid Hi Malum Hoti Hai

Poet

ye dhoka ho na ho ummid hi ma.alum hoti hai

ki mujh ko duur se kuchh raushni ma.alum hoti hai

ḳhuda jaane kis andaz-e-nazar se tum ne dekha hai

ki mujh ko zindagi ab zindagi ma.alum hoti hai

isi ka naam shayad zindagi ne yaas rakkha hai

nafas ki jo khaTak hai aḳhiri ma.alum hoti hai

hua hai husn se kuchh aur aks-e-husn-e-ḳhud-dari

ḳhamoshi un ke honTon par hansi ma.alum hoti hai

na aaya haath mere baḌh ke jo daman inayat ka

ye mahrumi talab ki kuchh kami ma.alum hoti hai

jhukaya aaj dar par ai zahe baḳht-e-sar-afrazi

tiri rahmat qubul-e-bandagi ma.alum hoti hai

tujhe apne liye dast-e-karam ye janta huun main

ki tu hai jis qadar duniya vahi ma.alum hoti hai

kahan huun kis taraf huun main ḳhabar is ki nahin mujh ko

yahi gum-gashtagi kuchh agahi ma.alum hoti hai

sar-e-mauj nafas kashti-e-dil ko kya kahun ‘kaifi’

ubharti hai jahan tak Dubti ma.alum hoti hai
