bunden paDi thin chhat pe ki sab log uTh gae
qudrat ke aadmi se ajab silsile rahe
wo shaKHs kya hua jo muqabil tha! sochiye!
bas itna kah ke aaine KHamosh ho gae
is aas par ki KHud se mulaqat ho kabhi
apne hi dar pe aap hi dastak diya kiye
patte uDa ke le gai andhi hawa kahin
ashjar be-libas zamin mein gaDe rahe
kya baat thi ki sari faza bolne lagi!
kuchh baat thi ki der talak sochte rahe
har sansanati shai pe thi chadar dhuen ki 'raaz'
aakash mein shafaq thi na pani pe daere
main ne ghazal kahi hai 'munawar' magar kahan!
puchhega 'raaz' kaun! miyan sher kuchh kahe?
Ghazal
Bunden paDi thin chhat pe ki sab log uTh gae
