ishq tajdid kar ke dekhte hain
phir se ummid kar ke dekhte hain
qatl karte hain apni hasti ka
aur phir id kar ke dekhte hain
us ki tanqid karne se pahle
apni tanqid kar ke dekhte hain
roz hanste hain muskuraate hain
aaj nam did kar ke dekhte hain
kuchh na hasil hua ghazal kah kar
aao tamjid kar ke dekhte hain
wasf maqbul kar ke dekhte hain
husn tardid kar ke dekhte hain
aaj aarif muqallidin ki hum
KHud hi taqlid kar ke dekhte hain
Ghazal
Ishq tajdid kar ke dekhte hain
Syed Mohammad Askari Arif
