jo dekhe the wo sare KHwab ruKHsat ho gae hain
hamare sab adab aadab ruKHsat ho gae hain
ye duniya jis gharane ke sabab tu ne banai
teri duniya se wo be-ab ruKHsat ho gae hain
nigahban the jo sahil par hamari kashtiyon ke
wo sab ke sab sar-e-girdab ruKHsat ho gae hain
paDa hai jab qabile par hamare waqt koi
hamare mo'atabar ahbab ruKHsat ho gae hain
tulu-e-subh ki afwah par mahfil se us ki
hazaron anjum-o-mahtab ruKHsat ho gae hain
Ghazal
Jo dekhe the wo sare KHwab ruKHsat ho gae hain
