jo nazar se bayan hoti hai
kya hasin dastan hoti hai
pattharon ko na Thokaren maro
pattharon mein bhi jaan hoti hai
jis ko chhu do tum apne qadmon se
wo zamin aasman hoti hai
be-piye bhi surur hota hai
jab mohabbat jawan hoti hai
zindagi to usi ki hai jis par
wo nazar mehrban hoti hai
jitne unche KHayal hote hain
utni unchi uDan hoti hai
aarzu ki zaban nahin hoti
aarzu be-zaban hoti hai
jis mein shamil ho talKHi-e-gham bhi
kitni miThi wo tan hoti hai
in ki nazron ka ho fusun jis mein
wo ghazal ki zaban hoti hai
KHar ki zindagi-e-be-raunaq
phul ki pasban hoti hai
kaun deta hai ruh ko aawaz
jab haram mein azan hoti hai
ishq ki zindagi 'hafiz' na puchh
har ghaDi imtihan hoti hai
Ghazal
Jo nazar se bayan hoti hai
Hafeez Banarasi
