aag si lag rahi hai sine mein
ab maza kuchh nahin hai jine mein
aaKHiri kashmakash hai ye shayad
mauj-e-dariya mein aur safine mein
zindagi yun guzar gai jaise
laDkhaData ho koi zine mein
dil ka ahwal puchhte kya ho
KHak uDti hai aabgine mein
kitne sawan guzar gae lekin
koi aaya na is mahine mein
sare dil ek se nahin hote
farq hai kankar aur nagine mein
zindagi ki saadaten 'aslam'
mil gain sab mujhe madine mein
Ghazal
Aag si lag rahi hai sine mein
Aslam Farrukhi
