hum mein bhi aur unhon mein pahle jo yariyan thin
donon dilon mein kya kya ummidwariyan thin
wo muntazir ki aawen hum pur-tapish ki jawen
is Dhab ki har do jaanib be-iKHtiyariyan thin
na zabt hai nigah ka na ruk sake nazara
kya shauq-warziyan thin kya be-qarariyan thin
uThne mein baiThne mein hansne mein bolne mein
kuchh be-shuuriyan thin kuchh hoshyariyan thin
jis ja 'nazir' aa kar hoti hain ulfaten to
wan aisi aisi kitni ishrat-shiariyan thin
Ghazal
Hum mein bhi aur unhon mein pahle jo yariyan thin
