ji nahin lagta kitabon mein kitaben kya karen
kya paDhen paDh kar bujhi be-nur satren kya karen
kuchh ajab haalat hai ai dil kuchh samajh aata nahin
so rahen ghar ja ke ya galiyon mein ghumen kya karen
wasta patthar se paD jae jahan sochun wahan
kya karen zor-e-bayan qalamen dawaten kya karen
aisi yaKH-basta hawa mein konplen phuTengi kya?
barishon ki aarzu be-barg shaKHen kya karen
ho gai daldal zamin dhanste hi rah jate hain yan
kya karen mohkam binaen surKH inTen kya karen
sham Dhalte hi ye aalam hai to kya jaane bashir
haal apna subh tak be-rabt nabzen kya karen
Ghazal
Ji nahin lagta kitabon mein kitaben kya karen
