kabhi gulon kabhi KHaron ke darmiyan guzri
saba chaman se ba-zahir to shadman guzri
usi ka nam azal hai usi ka nam abad
wo ek raat jo phulon ke darmiyan guzri
kahin lapak uThe shoale kahin mahak uThe gul
shab-e-firaq na puchho kahan kahan guzri
ba-shakl-e-qamat-e-adam ba-tarz-e-raqs-e-pari
hamare sar pe qayamat bhi kya jawan guzri
kabhi kabhi to gham-e-dil ki lai baDhi itni
dil-e-hayat ki dhaDkan bhi kuchh garan guzri
baDe nasheb bahut pech-o-KHam the rahon mein
magar ye umr-e-do-roza rawan-dawan guzri
baham rahe hain sar-o-sina yak-digar kya kya
ki sar pe tegh paDi dil se jab sinan guzri
Ghazal
Kabhi gulon kabhi Khaaron ke darmiyan guzri
