Ret Aur Dard
muddaten guzrin mere dil ko hue virana
aandhiyan bhi nahin aatin
ki uDe ret miTe naqsh-e-sarab
aur ek dard ka chashma
mundamil zaKHmon se phuTe nai KHunki le kar
pyas jag uTThe sukut-e-dil-e-muztar TuTe
taki main dekh sakun
apni be-KHwab si aankhon se wo manzar ek din
ret ke tode fazaon mein uDe jate hain
aur KHush ho ke kahun
zindagi ret sahi dard ka chashma bhi to hai
