har-chand ki wo jawan nahin hum
itne bhi to na-tawan nahin hum
qimat hai hamari ek tabassum
is nirKH pe kuchh giran nahin hum
hain kunj-e-qafas ke rahne wale
parwarda-e-ashiyan nahin hum
kyun dar pe rahen hamesha baiThe
kuchh aap ke pasban nahin hum
taswir kisi ki dekhte hain
mahw-e-gul-o-bostan nahin hum
gar aankh zara bhi tu ne pheri
to gardish-e-asman nahin hum
hathon se tere bahaar-e-KHubi
sharminda-e-barg-e-pan nahin hum
tum tak bhi pahunch rahenge aaKHir
kuchh dur to ham-rahan nahin hum
kis roz jarahaton pe dil ki
ashkon se namak-fishan nahin hum
majlis se kare hai hum ko bahar
goya ki mizaj-dan nahin hum
sae se hamare itni nafrat
kafir bhi to ai butan nahin hum
hai chaar taraf hamara jalwa
DhunDe jo koi kahan nahin hum
yani ki barang-e-nikhat-e-gul
parde mein hain aur nihan nahin hum
milta hai har ek se 'mushafi' yar
samjhe hai ki bad-guman nahin hum
Ghazal
Har-chand ki wo jawan nahin hum
Mushafi Ghulam Hamdani
