hain des-bides ek guzar aur basar mein
be-as ko kab chain mila hai kisi ghar mein
chup main ne lagai to hua us ka bhi charcha
jo bhed na khulta ho wo khul jata hai Dar mein
suraj ka ghamanD aur nahin tare ke barabar
aisi hi to baaten hain is andher-nagar mein
wo Tal nahin sakti jo pahunchne ki ghaDi hai
chalta rahe galiyon mein ki baiTha rahe ghar mein
huk uTThi idhar ji mein udhar kuk uThi koyal
puchhe koi to kaun idhar mein na udhar mein
ai 'arzu' aankhon hi mein kaT jate hain din-raat
koi bhi ghaDi chain ki hai aaTh-pahr mein
Ghazal
Hain des-bides ek guzar aur basar mein
