abr be-wajh nahin dasht ke upar aae
ek dua aur ki barish ki dua bar aae
aankh rakhte hue kuchh bhi nahin dekha hum ne
warna manzil se hasin rah mein manzar aae
koi imkan ki jage kabhi lohe ka zamir
aur qatil ki taraf lauT ke KHanjar aae
aarzu thi ki shajar ko samar-awar dekhun
baur paDte hi magar sahn mein patthar aae
tujh se dariya to gae chal ke samundar ki taraf
mujh se qatre ki taraf uD ke samundar aae
aazmaish ho shujaat ki to phir aise ho
main akela hun mere samne lashkar aae
kar diya dhup ne jab shahr ko sayon ke sipurd
phir to din mein bhi kai raat ke manzar aae
Ghazal
Abr be-wajh nahin dasht ke upar aae
Mukhtar Javed
