dekhen kitne chahne wale niklenge
ab ke hum bhi bhes badal ke niklenge
chahe jitna shahd pila do shaKHon ko
nim ke patte phir bhi kaDwe niklenge
pair ke chhaale puchh rahe hain rahbar se
ek raste se kitne raste niklenge
is lahje se baat nahin ban paegi
talwaron se kaise kanTe niklenge
taKHt chhinega darbanon ki sazish se
aur luTere taj pahan ke niklenge
ek aaina kitni shaklen dekhega
makkari ke kitne chehre niklenge
gird-o-pesh ko thoDa raushan hone do
meri ghat mein mere sae niklenge
'tariq' teri qismat mein hi pyar nahin
is bairi ke bair bhi khaTTe niklenge
Ghazal
Dekhen kitne chahne wale niklenge
Tariq Qamar
