bahut se dard the par KHud ko joD kar rakkha
wo main ki aatish o aahan mein jis ne sar rakkha
main wo hun jis ne taaqub mein apne maut rakhi
aur apne sar ko sada us ki mar par rakkha
nashat o fath meri dastaras mein the lekin
kitab-e-umr mein dukh-dard besh-tar rakkha
mile hue the mujhe chahaton ke dar kitne
magar main wo ki hawaon pe mustaqar rakkha
bahut se log mere waste the dast-kusha
magar nazar mein tera hi dayar-o-dar rakkha
kabhi hui hi nahin mujh ko be-ghari mahsus
KHud apne panw pe jab se hai apna ghar rakkha
gawah hain mere misron ke bast-o-dar 'kashif'
chuna jo harf use kar ke barwar rakkha
Ghazal
Bahut se dard the par KHud ko joD kar rakkha
