ajab din the ki in aankhon mein koi KHwab rahta tha
kabhi hasil hamein KHas-KHana o barfab rahta tha
ubharna Dubna ab kashtiyon ka hum kahan dekhen
wo dariya kya hua jis mein sada girdab rahta tha
wo suraj so gaya hai barf-zaron mein kahin ja kar
dhaDakta raat din jis se dil-e-betab rahta tha
jise paDhte to yaad aata tha tera phul sa chehra
hamari sab kitabon mein ek aisa bab rahta tha
suhane mausamon mein us ki tughyani qayamat thi
jo dariya garmiyon ki dhup mein payab rahta tha
Ghazal
Ajab din the ki in aankhon mein koi KHwab rahta tha
