ajab ahwal dekha is zamane ke amiron ka
na un ko Dar KHuda ka aur na un ko KHauf piron ka
misal-e-mahr-o-mah din raat khate charKH phirte hain
falak ke hath se ye haal hai raushan-zamiron ka
qafas mein phenk hum ko phir wahin sayyaad jata hai
KHuda hafiz hai gulshan mein hamare ham-safiron ka
mujhe shikwa nahin be-rahm kuchh tere taghaful se
khule-bandon phire tu haal kya jaane asiron ka
dil-e-yaqut hai tujh lal-e-lab ke rashk se pur-KHun
tere dandan ke aage ghaT gaya hai mol hiron ka
kiya hai us nishan-andaz ne tarkash tahi mujh par
meri chhati sira ho jis upar toda hai tiron ka
hamein diwan-KHane se kisi munim ke kya 'hatim'
hai aazadon ke gar rahne ko bas takiya faqiron ka
Ghazal
Ajab ahwal dekha is zamane ke amiron ka
