hayat mujh pe ek ilzam hi sahi phir bhi
bahut aziz hai mujh ko ye zindagi phir bhi
nahin kuchh aur to mumkin thi KHud-kushi phir bhi
hai koi baat ki jita hai aadmi phir bhi
ye tirgi to bas ek gardish-e-zamin tak hai
magar ye raat jo hum se na kaT saki phir bhi
chaman luTa hai KHud ahl-e-chaman ki sazish se
kali kali hai magar mahw-e-KHwab si phir bhi
kisi ko pa ke bhi akasr guman ye hota hai
ki jaise rah gai baqi koi kami phir bhi
hamin pe yurish-e-zulmat hamin hain kushta-e-shab
hamin hain pesh-raw-e-subh-o-raushni phir bhi
lab-e-'kalim' pe ab naghma-e-bahaar to hai
ye aur baat ki aankhen hain shabnami phir bhi
Ghazal
Hayat mujh pe ek ilzam hi sahi phir bhi
