bala se martabe unche na rakhna
kisi darbar se rishte na rakhna
jawanon ko jo dars-e-buzdili den
kabhi honTon pe wo qisse na rakhna
agar phulon ki KHwahish hai to sun lo
kisi ki rah mein kanTe na rakhna
kabhi tum sailon se tang aa kar
gharon ke band darwaze na rakhna
paDosi ke makan mein chhat nahin hai
makan apne bahut unche na rakhna
nahin hai ghar mein mal o zar to kya gham
wirasat mein magar qarze na rakhna
rais-e-shahr ko main jaanta hun
koi ummid tum us se na rakhna
bahut be-rahm hai 'tabish' ye duniya
talluq is se tum gahre na rakhna
Ghazal
Bala se martabe unche na rakhna
Tabish Mehdi
