hamare pas tha jo kuchh luTa ke baiTh rahe
dayar-e-dil mein qayamat uTha ke baiTh rahe
wahan jahan par andheron ka karwan utra
kisi umid pe shamen jala ke baiTh rahe
tumhaare hijr mein jo kuchh guzar gai guzri
tumhaare wasl mein hum ghar jala ke baiTh rahe
kahan ke dar-o-rasan aur kya shahid-e-wafa
ye karobar bhi kal phir uTha ke baiTh rahe
KHabar na thi ki zaman-ashkar the jo kabhi
wo parda-dar to chalan gira ke baiTh rahe
kaDakti dhup mein dasht-e-safar se ghabra kar
fasil-e-shahr ke sae mein aa ke baiTh rahe
zamana kuchh to kahe un se jo ba-hila-e-dil
kisi ki bazm se hum ko uTha ke baiTh rahe
giri hai ghar ki kaDi par kaDi to ghar wale
ghubar-e-sharm mein chehre chhupa ke baiTh rahe
wo tifl-e-maktab-e-rasm-e-wafa hamin to na the
jo apni yaadon ka mela laga ke baiTh rahe
hai bazgasht hi shayad meri fughan ka jawab
KHuda to apni hi qabron pe ja ke baiTh rahe
wo na-KHuda the zamane mein mo'atabar jo sada
samundaron mein safine baha ke baiTh rahe
Ghazal
Hamare pas tha jo kuchh luTa ke baiTh rahe
