kali par muskurahaT aaj bhi malum hoti hai
magar bimar honTon par hansi malum hoti hai
asiri ki KHushi kis ko KHushi malum hoti hai
charaghan ho raha hai tirgi malum hoti hai
ba-zahir ru-e-gul par tazgi malum hoti hai
magar barbaad chehre ki KHushi malum hoti hai
nasim-e-subh tu kya sone walon ko jagaegi
abhi to subh KHud soi hui malum hoti hai
chaman ka lutf khota hai chaman mein ajnabi hona
KHizan bhi apne gulshan ki bhali malum hoti hai
tujhe hum dopahar ki dhup mein dekhenge ai ghunche
abhi shabnam ke rone par hansi malum hoti hai
chalin garm aandhiyan suraj bhi chamka KHak-e-maqtal par
wahi KHun-e-shahidan ki nami malum hoti hai
zara ai mai-kasho anjam-e-mahfil par nazar rakhna
ki daur-e-aKHiri mein nind si malum hoti hai
mah o anjum ke KHaliq kuchh nae tare farozan kar
ki phir aafaq mein be-raunaqi malum hoti hai
samundar bhi hai dariya bhi hai chashme bhi hain nahren bhi
aur insan hai ki ab tak tishnagi malum hoti hai
zamane ki taraqqi tishna-e-takmil hai ya rab
abhi ek mard-e-momin ki kami malum hoti hai
na jao dekh lo sham-e-sahar ka jhilmilana bhi
ye mahfil ki bahaar-e-aKHiri malum hoti hai
to phir karna hi paDta hai wahan iqrar qudrat ka
jahan insan ko apni kami malum hoti hai
meri ek aah par jo phul daman chaak karte the
ab un ko mere nalon par hansi malum hoti hai
ba-zahir chashm-e-saqi mahw-e-KHwab-e-naz hai lekin
jawab-e-nargis-e-bedar bhi malum hoti hai
hamesha KHush rahe un ki nigahon ki masihai
ab apni zindagi bhi zindagi malum hoti hai
mohabbat hai zarur un se magar meri matanat ko
na jaane kyun ye nisbat bhi buri malum hoti hai
'shafiq' aasar hain mashriq ki jaanib taza kirnon ke
ye meri sham-e-nau ki chandni malum hoti hai
Ghazal
Kali par muskurahaT aaj bhi malum hoti hai
