talKH shikwe lab-e-shirin se maza dete hain
ghol kar shahad mein wo zahr pila dete hain
yun to hote hain mohabbat mein junun ke aasar
aur kuchh log bhi diwana bana dete hain
parda uTThe ki na uTThe magar ai parda-nashin
aaj hum rasm-e-takalluf ko uTha dete hain
aate jate nahin kam-baKHt payami un tak
jhuTe sachche yunhi paigham suna dete hain
wae-taqdir ki wo KHat mujhe likh likh ke 'zahir'
meri taqdir ke likkhe ko miTa dete hain
Ghazal
TalKH shikwe lab-e-shirin se maza dete hain
