kahin shuur mein sadiyon ka KHauf zinda tha
main shaKH-e-asr pe baiTha hua parinda tha
badan mein dil tha muallaq KHala mein nazren thin
magar kahin kahin sine mein dard zinda tha
phir ek raat mujhi par jhapaT paDa mera zabt
jise main pal raha tha koi darinda tha
KHushi ne hath baDhaya tha meri jaanib bhi
magar wahan jahan har shaKHs gham-kuninda tha
nabard-e-ishq mein kya kya jigar kiya 'tauqir'
hawa ka lams bhi jab intiqam-e-hinda tha
Ghazal
Kahin shuur mein sadiyon ka KHauf zinda tha
