duniya ajib khel tamasha lage mujhe
har aadmi hujum mein tanha lage mujhe
gunge mujahidon ka ye Thahra hua julus
parchhaiyon ka ek jazira lage mujhe
bazar-e-sang-o-KHisht mein sau nazuki ke sath
apni hayat kanch ki guDiya lage mujhe
suraj-mukhi ki tarah badalti hai ruKH hayat
jab aaftab-e-waqt ubharta lage mujhe
is darja mauj-e-KHun hai ragon mein sharar-fishan
umr-e-rawan to aag ka dariya lage mujhe
pau phuTte hi dur nikal jaunga 'sahar'
sansar ek rain-basera lage mujhe
Ghazal
Duniya ajib khel tamasha lage mujhe
