intizar tha hum ko KHushnuma bahaaron ka
ye qusur kya kam hai hum qusur-waron ka
aaftab chehra tha jin sharab-KHwaron ka
dagh dagh huliya hai un ka siyahkaron ka
sai-e-infiradi bhi naqsh chhoD jati hai
bujh gaya hai manzil tak naqsh rahguzaron ka
ek roz kho dega etimad-e-zati bhi
aasra taka jis ne dusre sahaaron ka
jis mein shahd-lab hoga kal baDa adab hoga
aaj na-munasib hai zikr mah-paron ka
rahnuma-e-rah-raw mein sham-e-bazm-e-ishrat ne
hasb-e-haal paya hai muddaa sitaron ka
aap hazrat-e-zahid us se kuchh nahin kahte
'shad' bhi to sathi hai hum gunahgaron ka
Ghazal
Intizar tha hum ko KHushnuma bahaaron ka
Shaad Aarfi
