buton ko bhul jate hain KHuda ko yaad karte hain
barahman jab safar su-e-allahabad karte hain
na gardan marte hain wo na dete hain kabhi phansi
hasinon ko ye sab mashhur kyun jallad karte hain
sitam-ijad kahte hain ye kyun mashuq ko shair
sitam bhi kya koi shai hai jise ijad karte hain
hamein batla na den aashiq jo hain ru-e-kitabi par
sabaq hai kya koi mashuq jis ko yaad karte hain
Ghazal
Buton ko bhul jate hain KHuda ko yaad karte hain
