Zakhm

Maut ki aghosh me sama raha hai koi

Mil gaya phir naya dard rooh ko meri

Kuch haseen pal jo saath guzaare the kabhi
Uski khamoshi me khamosh ab yaadein meri

Din viraan ho gaye mere aur raate jaagi'n
Kuch is tarah thahar gayi hai zindagi meri

Maqsade hayat nahin ab koi paas mere
Chand lamhon me simat rahi hai ka'yenaat meri

Sham'me ummeed to dikhate hai jalwe uske
Dhundli karte hain par ye ashq tasveer meri

Ya khuda nahin tujh se koi shikwa mujhko
Ye gham, ye zakhm, ab hain taqdeer meri
