ek ashk baha hoga
ek sher hua hoga
chup-chap paDe hain hum
dil rakh hua hoga
ek KHwab sahaara tha
wo TuT gaya hoga
dil ne to un aankhon par
ilzam dhara hoga
hai ishq to hai ham-kesh
dil mein koi tha hoga
kya nur tha pani mein
aankhon se baha hoga
phir yar nahin aae
phir jam dhara hoga
ek shoala fuzun ho kar
jalta bhi raha hoga
shab KHwab mein aaya wo
kya kya na hua hoga
tasir kahan sach mein
kuchh jhuT kaha hoga
is dil ke KHarabe mein
ek shahr basa hoga
muTThi mein hai dil kaise
raste mein mila hoga
kahne ki nahin baaten
baaton se bhi kya hoga
ek KHwab-e-tamanna ne
barbaad kiya hoga
wo soKHta-sar tha kaun
hoga to 'ata' hoga
Ghazal
Ek ashk baha hoga
Ahmad Ata
