us ne jo pher li nazar main ne bhi jam rakh diya

warna itne to marasim the ki aate jate

sitam to ye hai ki zalim suKHan-shanas nahin
wo ek shaKHs ki shaer bana gaya mujh ko

so dekh kar tere ruKHsar o lab yaqin aaya
ki phul khilte hain gulzar ke alawa bhi

Ahmad Faraz

suna hai bole to baaton se phul jhaDte hain
ye baat hai to chalo baat kar ke dekhte hain
