akele akele hi pa li rihai
mujhe mare jati hai teri judai
ye aahang-e-naghma ye rang-e-taghazzul
har ek chiz teri hi KHatir rachai
mari jaan ye kaisa sitam waqt ka hai
hai meri hi qismat mein nauha-sarai
sitaron ki gardish dilon ka bichhaDna
ye kaise KHuda ki hai kaisi KHudai
na puchho abhi haal 'ahan' ka yaro
kabhi jaan-ba-lab hai kabhi jaan-fidai
Ghazal
Akele akele hi pa li rihai
Akhlaq Ahmad Ahan
