ab raha kya hai jo ab aae hain aane wale
jaan par khel chuke jaan se jaane wale
ye na samjhe the ki ye din bhi hain aane wale
ungliyan hum pe uThaenge uThane wale
kaun samjhae na iThla ke sar-e-rah chaliye
hain ye andaz gunahgar banane wale
puchhne tak ko na aaya koi allah allah
thak gae panw ki zanjir bajaane wale
kahin rona na paDe tujh ko zamane ke sath
are o waqt ki jhankar par gane wale
aap andaz-e-nazar apna badalte hi nahin
aur bure bante hain bechaare zamane wale
puchhti hai dar-o-diwar se bimar ki aankh
ab kahan hain wo mere naz uThane wale
ba-KHuda bhul gae apni musibat 'bismil'
yaad jab aae mohammad ke gharane wale
Ghazal
Ab raha kya hai jo ab aae hain aane wale
Bismil Azimabadi
