hazaron sal se main jis ke intizar mein tha
wo aks-e-KHwab to mere hi iKHtiyar mein tha
wo meri zat ke partaw se mahtab hua
wagarna kurra-e-be-nur kis shumar mein tha
koi lagao na tha ab hare shajar se mujhe
main barg-e-KHushk tha uDte hue ghubar mein tha
safar mein yunhi jhulasta raha KHabar na hui
ki ThanDe pani ka chashma bhi rahguzar mein tha
main bad-guman na kabhi us se ho saka 'aKHtar'
ajab tarah ka maza us ke jhuTe pyar mein tha
Ghazal
Hazaron sal se main jis ke intizar mein tha
