ham-asron mein ye chheD chali aai hai 'azhar'
yan 'zauq' ne 'ghaalib' ko bhi ghaalib nahin samjha

Azhar Inayati

---

aaj bhi sham-e-gham! udas na ho
mang kar main charagh lata hun

Azhar Inayati

---

---

hua ujala to hum un ke nam bhul gae
jo bujh gae hain charaghon ki lau baDhate hue

Azhar Inayati

---

---

is kar-e-agahi ko junun kah rahe hain log
mahfuz kar rahe hain faza mein sadaen hum

Azhar Inayati

---

---

is raste mein jab koi saya na paega
ye aaKHiri daraKHt bahut yaad aaega

Azhar Inayati

---

---

jahan ziden kiya karta tha bachpana mera
kahan se laun khilaunon ki un dukanon ko

Azhar Inayati

---

---

jawan ho gai ek nasl sunte sunte ghazal
hum aur ho gae buDhe ghazal sunate hue

Azhar Inayati

---

---

jawanon mein tasadum kaise rukta
qabile mein koi buDha nahin tha

Azhar Inayati

---

---

kabhi qarib kabhi dur ho ke rote hain
mohabbaton ke bhi mausam ajib hote hain

Azhar Inayati
