mere liye vo shaḳhs musībat bhī bahut hai
sach ye bhī hai us kī mujhe aadat bhī bahut hai
miltā hai agar ḳhvāb meñ miltā to hai koī
us kī ye ināyat ye muravvat bhī bahut hai
us ne mujhe samjhā thā kabhī pyaar ke qābil
ḳhush rahnā ho to itnī masarrat bhī bahut hai
ulfat kā nibhānā to baḌī baat hai lekin
is daur meñ iz.hār-e-mohabbat bhī bahut hai
jaane pe ba-zid hai to kahūñ is ke sivā kyā
ai dost tirī itnī rifāqat bhī bahut hai
ik fāsla qaa.em hai ba-dastūr ba-har-hāl
hāsil mujhe us shaḳhs kī qurbat bhī bahut hai
jiinā to paḌegā hī baġhair us ke bhī 'rūhī'
hālāñki mujhe us kī zarūrat bhī bahut hai
