hatheliyon mein lakiron ka jal tha kitna
mere nasib mein mera zawal tha kitna
to jangalon ki tarah aag mujh mein phail gai
ragon mein bahta hua ishtial tha kitna
tabhi to jalti chaTTanon pe la ke phenk diya
mera wajud hawa par wabaal tha kitna
sabhi parinde mere pas aate Darte the
main KHushk peD sahi be-misal tha kitna
magar mila na kahin satwan jawab ab tak
mujhe satata hua ek sawal tha kitna
Ghazal
Hatheliyon mein lakiron ka jal tha kitna
Ejaz Obaid
