aage baDhe na qissa-e-ishq-e-butan se hum
sab kuchh kaha magar na khule raazdan se hum
ab bhagte hain saya-e-ishq-e-butan se hum
kuchh dil se hain Dare hue kuchh aasman se hum
hanste hain us ke girya-e-be-iKHtiyar par
bhule hain baat kah ke koi raazdan se hum
ab shauq se bigaD ke hi baaten kiya karo
kuchh pa gae hain aap ke tarz-e-bayan se hum
jannat mein to nahin agar ye zaKHm-e-tegh-e-ishq
badlenge tujh ko zindagi-e-jawedan se hum
Ghazal
Aage baDhe na qissa-e-ishq-e-butan se hum
