dilli hui hai viran sune khanDar paDe hain
viran hain mohalle sunsan ghar paDe hain
jab dekhta hun un ko tab ta-kamar paDe hain
ye baal mere ji ke pichhe magar paDe hain
izzat ye pyaadgi ki kam hai ki ghoDe wale
ghoDe se dekhte hi mujh ko utar paDe hain
dekha to is chaman mein baad-e-KHizan ke hathon
ukhDe hue zamin se kya kya shajar paDe hain
qariyat-e-hind ka ab ye rang hai ki koson
jawe koi jidhar ko ujDe nagar paDe hain
roya hai is chaman mein kaun aa ke ai saba jo
har naKHl-e-gul ke niche laKHt-e-jigar paDe hain
bigDa kiye hain hum bhi us naznin se har dam
kaam apne rafta rafta yuin sanwar paDe hain
hain jaan o dil ke KHwahan kya sar ke baal us ke
jo kuchh idhar paDe hain aur kuchh udhar paDe hain
maqtal mein ye tamasha us ke naya mein dekha
idhar ko dhaD paDe hain udhar ko sar paDe hain
bulbul ka baghban se kya ab nishan puchhun
bairun dar-e-chaman ke yak musht-e-par paDe hain
shabnam gulab-pashi ghunche ki jald uTha la
gul bistar-e-ghashi par sab be-KHabar paDe hain
ai 'mushafi' main un ko ab chhoDta hun koi
wo baad muddaton ke meri nazar paDe hain
Ghazal
Dilli hui hai viran sune khanDar paDe hain
