abhi tawaqqoa banae rakhna abhi umiden jagae rahna
bahut ghana hai andhera shab ka dilon ki shamen jalae rahna
KHuda hi jaane ki aane wali ruton mein kya ho jahan ki haalat
abhi ye naghme na band karna abhi ye mahfil sajae rahna
ye dekhna hai ki dam hai kitna ghanim lashkar ke bazuon mein
safon ko apni sajae rakhna suron ko apne uThae rahna
yahan kahan bastiyon ki raunaq yahan to sannaTa chiKHta hai
ujaD sahra ka ye safar hai dilon ki duniya basae rahna
abhi hai KHatra nafas nafas par abhi hain qatil gali gali mein
'shakil' aankhen na band karna 'shakil' KHud ko jagae rahna
Ghazal
Abhi tawaqqoa banae rakhna abhi umiden jagae rahna
