gareban dar gareban nukta-arai bhi hoti hai
bahaar aae to diwanon ki ruswai bhi hoti hai
hum un ki bazm tak ja hi pahunchte hain kisi surat
agarche rah mein diwar-e-tanhai bhi hoti hai
bikharti hai wahi akasr KHizan-parwar bahaaron mein
chaman mein jo kali pahle se murjhai bhi hoti hai
ba-nam-e-kufr-o-iman be-murawwat hain jahan donon
wahan shaiKH-o-barahman ki shanasai bhi hoti hai
chamakti hai koi bijli to sham-e-rahguzar ban kar
nigah-e-barham in ki kuchh to sharmai bhi hoti hai
'qatil' us dam bhi rahta hai yahi ehsas-e-mahrumi
jab un shanon pe zulfon ki ghaTa chhai bhi hoti hai
Ghazal
Gareban dar gareban nukta-arai bhi hoti hai
