ek tha shaKHs zamana tha ki diwana bana
ek afsana tha afsane se afsana bana
ek pari-chehra ki jis chehre se aaina bana
dil ki aaina-dar-aina pari-KHana bana
KHema-e-shab mein nikal aata hai gahe gahe
ek aahu kabhi apna kabhi begana bana
hai charaghan hi charaghan sar-e-ariz sar-e-jam
rang-e-sad-jalwa-e-jaanana sanam-KHana bana
ek jhonka tere pahlu ka mahakti hui yaad
ek lamha teri dildari ka kya kya na bana
Ghazal
Ek tha shaKHs zamana tha ki diwana bana
Makhdoom Mohiuddin
