is qadar bhi to na jazbaat pe qabu rakkho
thak gae ho to mere kandhe pe bazu rakkho
bhulne pae na is dasht ki wahshat dil se
shahr ke bich raho bagh mein aahu rakkho
KHushk ho jaegi rote hue sahra ki tarah
kuchh bacha kar bhi to is aankh mein aansu rakkho
raushni hogi to aa jaega rah-raw dil ka
us ki yaadon ke diye taq mein har-su rakkho
yaad aaegi tumhaari hi safar mein us ko
us ke rumal mein ek achchhi si KHushbu rakkho
ab wo mahbub nahin apna magar dost to hai
us se ye ek talluq hi bahar-su rakkho
Ghazal
Is qadar bhi to na jazbaat pe qabu rakkho
