ba-qadr-e-hausla koi kahin koi kahin tak hai
safar mein rah-o-manzil ka tayyun bhi yahin tak hai
na ho inkar to isbaat ka pahlu bhi kyun nikle
mere israr mein taqat faqat teri nahin tak hai
udhar wo baat KHushbu ki tarah uDti thi galiyon mein
idhar main ye samajhta tha ki mere ham-nashin tak hai
nahin kotah-dasti ka gila itna ghanimat hai
pahunch hathon ki apne apne jeb-o-astin tak hai
siyahi dil ki phuTegi to phir nas nas se phuTegi
ghulamo ye na samjho dagh-e-ruswai jabin tak hai
phir aage marhale tai ho rahenge himmat-e-dil se
jahan tak raushni hai KHauf-e-tariki wahin tak hai
ilahi barish-e-abr-e-karam ho fasl duni ho
ki 'baqar' ki to aamad bas isi dil ki zamin tak hai
Ghazal
Ba-qadr-e-hausla koi kahin koi kahin tak hai
