jaan-e-be-tab ajab tere Thikane nikle
barish-e-sang mein sab aaina-KHane nikle
sab baDe zoam se aae the nae surat-gar
sab ke daman se wahi KHwab purane nikle
raat har wada-o-paiman amar lagta tha
subh ke sath kai uzr bahane nikle
ai kisi aate hue zinda zamane ke KHayal
hum tere raste mein palken bichhane nikle
kasa-e-dard liye kab se khaDe sochte hain
dast-e-imkan se kya chiz na jaane nikle
harf-e-inkar sar-e-bazm kaha main ne 'zafar'
lakh andeshe mere dil ko Darane nikle
Ghazal
Jaan-e-be-tab ajab tere Thikane nikle
