Mareez-e-Gham

Yun hi tanhai mein ab dil ko saza dete hain,
Naam likhte hain tera likh ke mita dete hain,

Jab bhi nakaam mohabbat ka koi zikr kare,
Log hanste hain mera naam bata dete hain,

Ab khushi ki koi tarkeeb na sojhe,
Ab ye aalam hai ke ghum hi maza dete hain,

Kya zarurat hai ke dete ho khud ko ye zahmat,
Lao hum khud hi nashaimen ko jala dete hain,

Ab tasalli nahi di jati mareez-e-gham ko,
Dekhne walay bhi marne ki Dua dete hain.
