junun ke taur hum idrak hi se bandhte hain
ki tir-o-tar ko fitrak hi se bandhte hain
bayon ko shaKH-e-gul-e-tar hi ras aati hai
agarche ghonsle KHashak hi se bandhte hain
falak se nur-o-tamazat to lete hain lekin
shajar jaDon ko faqat KHak hi se bandhte hain
lahu se sarf-e-nazar ki ajab riwayat hai
umid-e-nashsha yahan tak hi se bandhte hain
hum apne hathon pe itraate hain magar 'arshad'
tilism-e-kuza-gari chaak hi se bandhte hain
Ghazal
Junun ke taur hum idrak hi se bandhte hain
