kar-zar-e-dahr mein kya nusrat-o-gham dekhna
ek bas apna alam aur apna parcham dekhna
is tilism-e-asr-e-hazir se jab aankhen jal uThin
dur jalta ek charagh-e-ism-e-azam dekhna
muntazir hain raston par hadse chalte hue
khol rakhna apni aankhen aur kam kam dekhna
chand tare aur jugnu aur mera rang-e-hunar
yani us ko yaad karna us ko paiham dekhna
hijr ki pur-soz raaten kis tarah aabaad hon
shad hun shadab hun ai mere hamdam dekhna
Ghazal
Kar-zar-e-dahr mein kya nusrat-o-gham dekhna
