aag hai phaili hui kali ghaTaon ki jagah
bad-duaen hain labon par ab duaon ki jagah
intiKHab-e-ahl-e-gulshan par bahut rota hai dil
dekh kar zagh-o-zaghan ko KHushnawaon ki jagah
kuchh bhi hota par na hote para-para jism-o-jaan
rahzan hote agar un rahnumaon ki jagah
luT gai is daur mein ahl-e-qalam ki aabru
bik rahe hain ab sahafi be-sawaon ki jagah
kuchh to aata hum ko bhi jaan se guzarne ka maza
ghair hote kash 'jalib' aashnaon ki jagah
Ghazal
Aag hai phaili hui kali ghaTaon ki jagah
Habib Jalib
