abas hai naz-e-istighna pe kal ki kya KHabar kya ho
KHuda malum ye saman kya ho jae sar kya ho
ye aah-e-be-asar kya ho ye naKHl-e-be-samar kya ho
na ho jab dard hi ya-rab to dil kya ho jigar kya ho
jahan insan kho jata ho KHud phir us ki mahfil mein
rasai kis tarah ho daKHl kyunkar ho guzar kya ho
na puchhunga main ye bhi jam mein hai zahr ya amrit
tumhaare hath se andesha-e-naf-o-zarar kya ho
murawwat se ho begana wafa se dur ho koson
ye sach hai naznin ho KHubsurat ho magar kya ho
shagufe dekh kar muTThi mein zar ko muskuraate hain
ki jab umr is qadar kotah rakhte hain to zar kya ho
raha karti hai ye hairat mujhe zuhd-e-riyai par
KHuda se jo nahin Darta use bande ka Dar kya ho
kaha main ne ki 'nazm'-e-mubtala marta hai hasrat mein
kaha us ne agar mar jae to mera zarar kya ho
kaha main ne ki hai soz-e-jigar aur uff nahin karta
kaha is ki ijazat hi nahin phir nauhagar kya ho
kaha main ne ki de us ko ijazat aah karne ki
kaha us ne bhaDak uTThe agar soz-e-jigar kya ho
kaha main ne ki aansu aankh ka lekin nahin thamta
kaha aankhen koi talwon se mal Dale agar kya ho
kaha main ne qadam bhar par hai wo surat dikha aao
kaha munh pher kar itna kisi ko dard-e-sar kya ho
kaha main ne asar mutlaq nahin kya sang-dil hai tu
kaha jab dil ho patthar ka to patthar par asar kya ho
kaha main ne jo mar jae to kya ho soch tu dil mein
kaha na-aqibat-andesh ne kuchh soch kar kya ho
kaha main ne KHabar bhi hai ki di jaan us ne ghuT ghaT kar
kaha mar jae chupke se to phir mujh ko KHabar kya ho
Ghazal
Abas hai naz-e-istighna pe kal ki kya KHabar kya ho
Nazm tabaa-tabaa.ii
