jis qadar shikwe the sab harf-e-dua hone lage
hum kisi ki aarzu mein kya se kya hone lage
bekasi ne be-zabani ko zaban kya baKHsh di
jo na kah sakte the ashkon se ada hone lage
hum zamane ki suKHan-fahmi ka shikwa kya karen
jab zara si baat par tum bhi KHafa hone lage
rang-e-mahfil dekh kar duniya ne nazren pher lin
aashna jitne bhi the na-ashna hone lage
har qadam par manzilen kuchh dur yun hoti gain
raaz-ha-e-zindagani hum pe wa hone lage
sar-burida KHasta-saman dil-shikasta jaan-ba-lab
aashiqi mein surKH-ru nam-e-KHuda hone lage
aagahi ne jab dikhai rah-e-irfan-e-habib
but the jitne dil mein sab qibla-numa hone lage
aashiqi ki KHair ho 'sarwar' ki ab is shahr mein
waqt wo aaya hai bande bhi KHuda hone lage
Ghazal
Jis qadar shikwe the sab harf-e-dua hone lage
