ek taraf talab teri ek taraf zamana hai
puchhta hai dil mujh se kis taraf ko jaana hai
mere ghar wo aaega aaj ghar sajaana hai
is taraf ki chizon ko us taraf lagana hai
naqsh-ha-e-rangin ka ek nigar-KHana hai
zindagi haqiqat hai zindagi fasana hai
jazba-e-junun-e-ishq go bahut purana hai
phir bhi taza-tar hai ye phir bhi walihana hai
paenge KHushi bhi hum ranj-o-gham bhi jhelenge
is jahan mein jab tak apna aab-o-dana hai
dushmanon ke tane hain doston ki tanqiden
tir saikaDon hain aur ek dil nishana hai
aatishin hai lahja bhi guftugu bhi barudi
sochiye 'shafiq' us se kis tarah nibhana hai
Ghazal
Ek taraf talab teri ek taraf zamana hai
Shafiq Ahmad
