ek Dhab pe kabhu wo but-e-KHud-kaam na paya
dekha mein jo kuchh subh use sham na paya
apni hi hawas ke ye sab uljhaw hain warna
is rah mein hum ne to kahin dam na paya
wo naKHl-e-KHizan-dida hun us dasht mein jis ke
saye mein kisi pahunche ne bisram na paya
wo be-sar-o-tan hai ye zamana ki ba-in-ghaur
jis ka main kuchh aaghaz aur anjam na paya
fahrist mein KHuban-e-wafadar ki pyare
dekhi to kahin us mein tera nam na paya
mamul tha dushnam ewaz apni dua ka
so wo bhi kai din se main inam na paya
yak shab wo kahin god mein soya tha so 'qaem'
phir baalish-e-maKHmal se main aaram na paya
Ghazal
Ek Dhab pe kabhu wo but-e-KHud-kaam na paya
