but-gari-e-jamal mein guzra
ahd-e-kufr ek haal mein guzra
waqt guzra jo be-KHayali mein
wo tere hi KHayal mein guzra
kuchh kaTa waqt ranj-e-duri mein
kuchh KHayal-e-visal mein guzra
hae wo zaKHm jin ka mausam-e-gul
dahshat-e-indimal mein guzra
phir dhaDakne laga hai dil apna
kya kahun kya KHayal mein guzra
nigah-e-dost ka bhi mausam-e-lutf
dil hi ki dekh-bhaal mein guzra
ek lamhe mein kitne sal kaTe
ek lamha bhi sal mein guzra
Ghazal
But-gari-e-jamal mein guzra
