hamari ham-nafasi ko bhi kya dawam hua
wo abr-e-surKH to main naKHl-e-intiqam hua
yahin se mere adu ka KHamir uTTha tha
zamin dekh ke main tegh-e-be-niyam hua
KHabar nahin hai mere baadshah ko shayad
hazar martaba aazad ye ghulam hua
ajab safar tha ajab-tar musafirat meri
zamin shuru hui aur main tamam hua
wo kahili hai ki dil ki taraf se ghafil hain
KHud apne ghar ka bhi hum se na intizam hua
hui hai KHatm dar-o-baam ki kam-asbabi
mayassar aaj wo saman-e-inhidam hua
Ghazal
Hamari ham-nafasi ko bhi kya dawam hua
Ahmad Javed
