ibtida hun ki intiha hun main
umr bhar sochta raha hun main
lafz-o-mani se mawara hun main
ek KHamosh iltija hun main
dil mein koi KHushi nahin lekin
aadatan muskura raha hun main
na-tawan ho ke adl chahta hun
waqai qabil-e-saza hun main
dekh kar rang bazm-e-alam ka
naqsh-e-diwar ban gaya hun main
subah ke intizar mein 'rifat'
raat bhar sochta raha hun main
Ghazal
Ibtida hun ki intiha hun main
Rifat Sultan
