aae the jis taraf se wo ek din udhar gae
bargad ka peD kaT gaya sadhu guzar gae
kya zindagi mili unhen tufan ki god mein
do jism ek jism hue aur mar gae
karne lage qayas kahin qatl ho gaya
aandhi ka rang surKH tha sab log Dar gae
ab mujh ko bhul-bhaal gae sab muashqe
sawan ki rut guzar gai dariya utar gae
ek jism mein utar gaya ek sal din-ba-din
ek ek kar ke sahn mein patte bikhar gae
chhup kar mile bichhaD gae aur phir na mil sake
ek pal mein dastan ki takmil kar gae
Ghazal
Aae the jis taraf se wo ek din udhar gae
