ghani aabaadiyon ki be-amani ka tamasha kar
nikal kar ghar se marg-e-na-gahani ka tamasha kar
jo zinda aag mein Dale gae lashen na gin un ki
jo bach nikle hain un ki saKHt-jaani ka tamasha kar
jo taKHt-o-taj ke malik hain kya wo mo'tabar bhi hain
shar-angezi mein Dubi hukmarani ka tamasha kar
bacha kya rah gaya kalak bhare jhulse makanon mein
ujaDi bastiyon ki be-nishani ka tamasha kar
nai tariKH ke safhon pe likkha ja raha hai kya
huruf-e-qahr ki aatish-fishani ka tamasha kar
jo dil mein hai use na-gufta rahne de to behtar hai
badalti surat-e-harf-o-maani ka tamasha kar
na koi KHwab baqi hai na aansu KHushk aankhon mein
tahi-daston ki gum-sum nauha-KHwani ka tamasha kar
har ek shab shukr kar teri abhi gardan salamat hai
har ek din sail-e-KHun ki be-karani ka tamasha kar
qayamat sar tak aa pahunchi hai rakh le hath aankhon par
mata-e-zindagi ki raegani ka tamasha kar
Ghazal
Ghani aabaadiyon ki be-amani ka tamasha kar
