hum zarre hain KHak-e-rahguzar ke
dekho hamein baam se utar ke
chup ho gae yun asir jaise
jhagDe the tamam baal-o-par ke
wada na dilao yaad un ka
nadim hun KHud e'tibar kar ke
ai baad-e-sahar na chheD hum ko
hum jage hue hain raat-bhar ke
shabnam ki tarah hayat ke KHwab
kuchh aur nikhar gae bikhar ke
jab un ko KHayal-e-waza aaya
andaz badal gae nazar ke
yun maut ke muntazir hain 'baqi'
mil jaega chain jaise mar ke
Ghazal
Hum zarre hain KHak-e-rahguzar ke
