hone ki gawahi ke liye KHak bahut hai
ya kuchh bhi nahin hone ka idrak bahut hai
ek bhuli hui baat hai ek TuTa hua KHwab
hum ahl-e-mohabbat ko ye imlak bahut hai
kuchh dar-badari ras bahut aai hai mujh ko
kuchh KHana-KHarabon mein meri dhak bahut hai
parwaz ko par khol nahin pata hun apne
aur dekhne mein wusat-e-aflak bahut hai
kya us se mulaqat ka imkan bhi nahin ab
kyun in dinon maili teri poshak bahut hai
aankhon mein hain mahfuz tere ishq ke lamhat
dariya ko KHayal-e-KHas-o-KHashak bahut hai
nadim hai bahut tu bhi 'jamal' apne kiye par
aur dekh le wo aankh bhi namnak bahut hai
Ghazal
Hone ki gawahi ke liye KHak bahut hai
Jamal Ehsani
