ghulam ki rose o shab ghulami mein kya kami thi
kaniz ke iltifat o KHubi mein kya kami thi
inhen dar-e-KHwab-gah se kis liye haTaya
muhafizon ki wafa-shiari mein kya kami thi
jalal-e-giti satan se darbar kanpta tha
muqarribon ki mizaj-fahmi mein kya kami thi
giran guzarta tha kyun tabiat pe sath us ka
wazir-zade ki nukta-sanji mein kya kami thi
nashist mein is qadar tammul ba-waqt-e-ruKHsat
murassa o mustaid sawari mein kya kami thi
khaDe the kyun chaukidar do-ruya neze thame
mahl ki diwar ki bulandi mein kya kami thi
guzar na sakta tha koi KHwaja-sara na bandi
haram ke raazon ki pasdari mein kya kami thi
na jaane salar mutmain kyun nahin the 'yasir'
sipah ke azm o jaan-sipari mein kya kami thi
Ghazal
Ghulam ki rose o shab ghulami mein kya kami thi
