kahaniyan bhi gain qissa-KHwaniyan bhi gain
wafa ke bab ki sab be-zabaniyan bhi gain
wo bazyabi-e-gham ki sabil bhi na rahi
luTa yun dil ki sabhi be-sabaatiyan bhi gain
hawa chali to hare patte sukh kar TuTe
jo subh aai to hira-numaiyan bhi gain
wo mera chehra mujhe aaine mein apna lage
isi talab mein badan ki nishaniyan bhi gain
palaT palaT ke tumhein dekha par mile bhi nahin
wo ahd-e-zabt bhi TuTa shitabiyan bhi gain
mujhe to aankh jhapakna bhi tha giran lekin
dil o nazar ki tasawwur-shiariyan bhi gain
Ghazal
Kahaniyan bhi gain qissa-KHwaniyan bhi gain
