hazar waqt ke partaw-nazar mein hote hain
hum ek halqa-e-wahshat-asar mein hote hain
kabhi kabhi nigah-e-ashna ke afsane
usi hadis-e-sar-e-rahguzar mein hote hain
wahi hain aaj bhi us jism-e-naznin ke KHutut
jo shaKH-e-gul mein jo mauj-e-guhar mein hote hain
khula ye dil pe ki tamir-e-baam-o-dar hai fareb
bagule qalib-e-diwar-o-dar mein hote hain
guzar raha hai tu aankhen chura ke yun na guzar
ghalat-bayan bhi bahut rah-guzar mein hote hain
qafas wahi hai jahan ranj-e-nau-ba-nau ai dost
nigah-dari ehsas par mein hote hain
sirisht-e-gul hi mein pinhan hain sare naqsh-o-nigar
hunar yahi to kaf-e-kuza-gar mein hote hain
Tilism-e-KHwab-e-zuleKHa o dam-e-barda-farosh
hazar tarah ke qisse safar mein hote hain
Ghazal
Hazar waqt ke partaw-nazar mein hote hain
