ja-ba-ja aag bichai thi kabhi
apne bas mein bhi KHudai thi kabhi
mere aaine mein KHud mere siwa
koi surat nazar aai thi kabhi
dushmanon se bhi tha yarana mera
doston se bhi laDai thi kabhi
rang chubhte hain jo ab aankhon mein
apni taswir banai thi kabhi
jab se hain apne parae bezar
rasm duniya ki uThai thi kabhi
hum ne bhi dasht ko mahkaya hai
hum ne bhi KHak uDai thi kabhi
khod kar zer-e-zamin kuchh na mila
apni shamshir chhupai thi kabhi
ab dahakti hai dobara 'hamdam'
aag sine mein dabai thi kabhi
Ghazal
Ja-ba-ja aag bichai thi kabhi
