kar-e-duniya ke taqazon ko nibhane mein kaTi
zindagi ret ki diwar uThane mein kaTi
ab bhi raushan hai tere dil mein mohabbat ka diya
raat phir sham-e-yaqin-saz jalane mein kaTi
tishnagi wo thi koi kar-e-wafa ho na saka
umar-e-be-maya faqat pyas bujhane mein kaTi
saat-e-wasl jo dekhe the KHad-o-KHal tere
hijr ki shab wahi taswir banane mein kaTi
ek angusht-e-shahadat ki abhi baqi thi
wo bhi is bar teri samt uThane mein kaTi
Ghazal
Kar-e-duniya ke taqazon ko nibhane mein kaTi
