apni ujDi hui duniya ki kahani hun main
ek bigDi hui taswir-e-jawani hun main
aag ban kar jo kabhi dil mein nihan rahta tha
aaj duniya mein usi gham ki nishani hun main
hae kya qahr hai marhum jawani ki yaad
dil se kahti hai ki KHanjar ki rawani hun main
aalam-afroz tapish tere liye laya hun
ai gham-e-ishq tera ahd-e-jawani hun main
charKH hai naghmagar ayyam hain naghme 'aKHtar'
dastan-go hai gham-e-dahr kahani hun main
Ghazal
Apni ujDi hui duniya ki kahani hun main
