chand nikla hai sar-e-qarya-e-zulmat dekho
ho gai kaisi siyah-KHanon ki rangat dekho
samne jo hai use aankh ka dhoka samjho
in dayaron ko sada KHwab ki surat dekho
sair hai jaise koi, aise jahan se guzro
dur tak phaila hai ek arsa-e-furqat dekho
zar ki parchhain jo paDti hai chamak uThta hai
aadam-e-KHak ki be-hoshi mein haalat dekho
KHauf deta hai yahan abr mein tanha hona
shahr-e-dar-band mein diwaron ki kasrat dekho
saya hai un pe bahut bhuli hui yaadon ka
sham aai hai pari-zadon mein wahshat dekho
dagh hai is ke na hone se dilon mein ab tak
uD gaya misl-e-saba gul ki haqiqat dekho
jangalon mein koi pichhe se bulae to 'munir'
muD ke raste mein kabhi us ki taraf mat dekho
Ghazal
Chand nikla hai sar-e-qarya-e-zulmat dekho
