hamein KHabar thi bachane ka us mein yara nahin
so hum bhi Dub gae aur use pukara nahin
KHud aaftab meri rah ka charagh bane
magar ye baat mere chand ko gawara nahin
jo us mein utri to tufan hi milenge mujhe
main jaanti hun ki wo mauj hai kinara nahin
ajab faza hai ki rang-e-numud-e-subh bhi hai
siyah raat ne bhi pairahan utara nahin
wajud jis ko kisi mo'tabar shajar ne diya
hawa ki zad mein bhi tinka wo be-sahaara nahin
jalega KHud bhi sahar tak mujhe bhi lau dega
charagh-e-sham koi baKHt ka sitara nahin
Ghazal
Hamein KHabar thi bachane ka usMein yara nahin
