jala hai hae kis jaan-e-chaman ki sham-e-mahfil se
mahak phulon ki aati hai sharar-e-atish-e-dil se
ye daman-e-hawadis se qayamat tak na gul hoga
charagh-e-dil mera raushan hai un ki sham-e-mahfil se
janab-e-KHizr hum ko KHak raste par lagaenge
ki manzil be-KHudon ki hai muarra qaid-e-manzil se
Thahar bhi ai KHayal-e-hashr aur ek jam pine de
sarakta hai abhi zulmat ka parda KHana-e-dil se
sahar ne le ke angDai tilism-e-naz-shab toDa
falak par husn ki shamen uThin taron ki mahfil se
baDha hai kaun ye girdab ki KHurak hone ko
ki uTTha shor-e-matam yak-ba-yak amboh-e-sahil se
meri baalin se uTh kar rone walo ye bhi socha hai
chala hun kis ki mahfil mein uTha hun kis ki mahfil se
hai us kambaKHt ko zid soz-e-baatin se pighal jaun
nigahon ne tumhaari kah diya hai kya mere dil se
na daman-gir-e-dil ho na-KHuda phir koi nazzara
KHuda ke waste kashti baDha aaghosh-e-sahil se
sipurd-e-be-KHudi kar de faraez aql-e-KHud-bin ke
haTa de is siyah-baatin ka pahra KHana-e-dil se
har ek zarra hai dil ai jaane wale dekh kar chalna
hazaron hastiyan lipTi paDi hain KHak-e-manzil se
meri bebak nazren un ki jaanib uTh hi jati hain
abhi 'ehsan' main waqif nahin aadab-e-mahfil se
Ghazal
Jala hai hae kis jaan-e-chaman ki sham-e-mahfil se
