hunar jo talib-e-zar ho hunar nahin rahta
mahal-sara mein koi kuza-gar nahin rahta
bichhaDte waqt kisi se hamein bhi tha ye guman
ki zaKHm kaisa bhi ho umr-bhar nahin rahta
main apne haq ke siwa mangta agar kuchh aur
to mere harf-e-dua mein asar nahin rahta
kuchh aur bhi guzar-auqat ke wasile hain
gada KHazina-e-kashkol par nahin rahta
wo kaun hai jo musafir ke sath chalta hai
KHayal-e-yar bhi jab ham-safar nahin rahta
jise banate sajate hain jis mein rahte hain
sawere aankh khule to wo ghar nahin rahta
khuli faza na rahe yaad agar parindon ko
gham-e-shikastagi-e-baal-o-par nahin rahta
hum ek shab mein kai KHwab dekhte hain so ab
wo aa ke KHwab mein bhi raat-bhar nahin rahta
'kamal' log bhi kya hain guman ye rakhte hain
jo bas gaya ho kahin dar-ba-dar nahin rahta
Ghazal
Hunar jo talib-e-zar ho hunar nahin rahta
