dil ko ujDe hue bite hain zamane kitne
kilk-e-taqdir ne luTe hain KHazane kitne
bhul jata hun magar sach to yahi hai barson
tum se wabasta rahe KHwab suhane kitne
dil dukhati hi rahi gardish-e-ayyam magar
hum bhi masruf rahe KHud bhi na jaane kitne
ek hum aur ye dushnam-taraazi tauba
apne atraf rahe aaina-KHane kitne
ek nazar dekh liya tha kisi gul ki jaanib
nukta-chinon ne tarashe hain fasane kitne
gar nahin wasl to phir baada-o-saghar hi sahi
dil ne DhunDe hain dhaDakne ke bahane kitne
umr-e-rafta ko jo aawaz kabhi di hum ne
khul gae zaKHm kai, bab purane kitne
ghamza-o-ramz mein 'salman' tafawut rakhte
aur aaenge tumhein naz dikhane kitne
Ghazal
Dil ko ujDe hue bite hain zamane kitne
Salman Ansari
