faqat ek shaghl bekari hai ab baada-kashi apni
wo mahfil uTh gai qaem thi jis se sarKHushi apni
KHuda ya na-KHuda ab jis ko chaho baKHsh do izzat
haqiqat mein to kashti ittifaqan bach gai apni
bas ab guzrenge rah-e-zindagi se be-niyazana
agar tere karam par munhasir hai zindagi apni
bahut ji chahta hai ye faqat naqs-e-basarat ho
baDi surat se duniya kho rahi hai dilkashi apni
KHamoshi par bhi hai un ko guman arz-e-tamanna ka
zaban-e-haal se kuchh kah gai waraftagi apni
agar tum hans diye ahwal-e-dil par kya tajjub hai
ki main KHud bhi ba-mushkil zabt karta hun hansi apni
hui hain barishen sang-e-malamat ki bahut lekin
rahe waz-e-junun qaem hai shorida-sari apni
Ghazal
Faqat ek shaghl bekari hai ab baada-kashi apni
