ghurub hote hue do sitare aankhon mein
shikast-e-KHwab ke hain istiare aankhon mein
phir us ke baad kisi bhi palak aman na mili
wo roz-o-shab ki jo hum ne guzare aankhon mein
hum aaKHir-e-shab-e-ummid so bhi jaen magar
wo KHwab-e-gum-shudgan kaun utare aankhon mein
is ehtimam se rote hain tere dil-zadagan
ki bahar aankhon se dariya kinare aankhon mein
hum apne chehre pe apna hi dukh nahin rakhte
sab ahl-e-hijr ke hain goshware aankhon mein
wo kushtagan-e-pas-o-pesh an-kahe alfaz
jo bach gae the so wo bhi sidhaare aankhon mein
Ghazal
Ghurub hote hue do sitare aankhon mein
