din guzarta hai kahan raat kahan hoti hai
dard ke maron se ab baat kahan hoti hai
ek se chehre to hote hain kai duniya mein
ek si surat-e-haalat kahan hoti hai
zindagi ke wo kisi moD pe gahe gahe
mil to jate hain mulaqat kahan hoti hai
aasmanon se koi bund nahin barsegi
jalte sahraon mein barsat kahan hoti hai
yun to auron ki bahut baaten sunain un ko
apni jo baat hai wo baat kahan hoti hai
jaisi aaghaz-e-mohabbat mein hua karti hai
waisi phir shiddat-e-jazbaat kahan hoti hai
pyar ki aag bana deti hai kundan jin ko
un ke zehnon mein bhala zat kahan hoti hai
Ghazal
Din guzarta hai kahan raat kahan hoti hai
Ahmad Rahi
