dhup mein baiThe hain bachche hath mein chhagal liye
so gain shayad hawaen god mein baadal liye
aa raha hai chup ke talabon mein patthar phenkta
ek julus-e-kaudkan ko sath ek pagal liye
in andheri bastiyon mein rakh na darwaza khula
kaun aata hai yahan apnai ki mashal liye
zat mein gum-sum yunhi saDkon pe din bhar ghumna
aur shab ko sochna pahlu mein dil be-kal liye
kya ajab us par mahak hi jaen darman ke gulab
hai to ek shaKH-e-nazar ummid ki konpal liye
aaj tak be-samtiyon ki rah-rawi ne kya diya
ab zara dam le bhi lo 'bazmi' bahut kuchh chal liye
Ghazal
Dhup mein baiThe hain bachche hath mein chhagal liye
