bahut se sail-e-hawadis ki zad pe bah gae hain
ye chand ek daraKHtan-e-sabz rah gae hain
makin dasht ke fil-faur dasht chhoD gae
ki sher-zad KHamoshi se war sah gae hain
zamin banjh hai nazad ho gae khaliyan
agarche subh o masa bar bar gah gae hain
parindgan! tumhein kuchh bhi KHabar na ho pai
daraKHt Dhe gae ambar-e-ab bah gae hain
bahaar ab ke jo guzri to phir na aaegi
bichhaDne wale bichhaDte samay ye kah gae hain
Ghazal
Bahut se sail-e-hawadis ki zad pe bah gae hain
