dhire dhire sham ka aaankhon mein har manzar bujha
ek diya raushan hua to ek diya andar bujha
wo to raushan qumqumon ke shahr mein mahsur tha
saKHt hairat hai ki aisa aadmi kyun kar bujha
is siyah-KHane mein tujh ko jagna hai raat bhar
in sitaron ko na be-maqsad hatheli par bujha
zehn ki aawargi ko bhi panahen chahiye
yun na shamon ko kisi dahliz par rakh kar bujha
aur bhi ghar the hawa ki zad pe basti mein 'shafaq'
mere hi ghar ka diya tufan mein akasr bujha
Ghazal
Dhire dhire sham ka aaankhon mein har manzar bujha
Farooq Shafaq
