ab ayaadat ko meri koi nahin aaega
phir hun bimar kisi ko na yaqin aaega
gham musalsal ho to ahbab bichhaD jate hain
ab na koi dil-e-tanha ke qarin aaega
apne KHwabon ke darichon mein jala lo shamen
aur ye soch lo ek mah-jabin aaega
phir nigar-e-chaman-e-wadi-e-farda-e-bahaar
gul-ba-dast-e-mah-o-anjum ba-jabin aaega
zehn-e-taza ke liye saz-e-haqiqat chheDo
chain ise sirf taKHayyul se kahin aaega
sirf apne hi azaem pe bharosa kar le
kaam koi bhi na ai qalb-e-hazin aaega
roz puja ke liye phul sajata hai 'salam'
jaane kab us ka KHuda su-e-zamin aaega
Ghazal
Ab ayaadat ko meri koi nahin aaega
Salam Machhli shahri
