aashiqi ke aashkare ho chuke
husn-e-yakta ke pukare ho chuke
uTh gaya parda jo fi-mabain tha
mann-o-tu ke the ishaare ho chuke
hai bahaar-e-gulshan-e-duniya do roz
bulbul-o-gul ke nazare ho chuke
chal diye uTh kar jahan chahe wahan
ek rangi ke sahaare ho chuke
yas se kah denge waqt-e-qatl hum
hum to ai pyare tumhaare ho chuke
wasil-e-dariya jo qatra ho gaya
ghairiyat ke the pukare ho chuke
gulshan-e-hasti mein dekhi thi bahaar
auj par jo the sitare ho chuke
warta-e-dariya ka gham jata raha
ghota khate the kinare ho chuke
nek-o-bad se tum ko 'markaz' kya gharaz
dur dushman the tumhaare ho chuke
Ghazal
Aashiqi ke aashkare ho chuke
