hawa mein kuchh to ghula tha ki honT nile hue
gale lagate hi taza gulab pile hue
na dasht-e-jaan pe barsi rafaqaton ki phuwar
na aankh mein chamak aai na lab hi gile hue
andhere oDhna chahe to badliyan chamkin
charagh ujalna chahe to lakh hile hue
tamam raat usi kohar ke jazire par
ulajh ulajh ke shuaon ke hath nile hue
mohabbaton ko baDhao ki ranjishen bhi miTen
sukun na hoga agar muKHtalif qabile hue
kuchh itni tez hai ye lafz ki sharab use
kashid karte hue hath bhi nashile hue
tahon mein baiThna chaha agar kabhi 'sajjad'
gale ka haar kai be-talab wasile hue
Ghazal
Hawa mein kuchh to ghula tha ki honT nile hue
