baat apnon ki karun main kisi begane se
kyun bahak jate ho tum ghair ke bahkane se
raaz ki baat hai puchho kisi diwane se
uqda-e-ishq khula kab kisi farzane se
kya kahe un se koi dil ki tamanna kya hai
jaan kar bhi jo bane rahte hain anjaane se
aan ki aan mein jal-bujh ke hua KHakistar
kya kahen kah diya kya shama ne parwane se
ai 'shafaq' uqda-e-hasti ka sulajhna malum
jo ulajh jata hai kuchh aur bhi suljhane se
Ghazal
Baat apnon ki karun main kisi begane se
