KHala-e-fikr ka ehsas arz-e-fan se mila
barahnagi mein naya lutf pairahan se mila
qadam qadam pe uge zaKHm-e-arzu bhi hazar
hazar rang-e-tamasha bhi is chaman se mila
baDha ke hath kahin uljhanen hi chhin na len
wo jam bhi jo mujhe sham-e-anjuman se mila
sahar ko be-khili kaliyon mein DhunDhti hai kiran
jo lutf-e-jalwa lajai hui dulhan se mila
usi ke sog mein baiTha hua hun muddat se
jo ek zaKHm rafiqan-e-ham-watan se mila
ghuru-e-KHush-nazari nazish-e-aqida-o-rang
hazar rog usi zom-e-ma-o-man se mila
hujum-e-yas mein tahzib-e-nafs ka aahang
teri hi narm-KHirami ke bankpan se mila
wo hausla jo nai rah ki talash mein hai
gali gali mein bhaTakti hui kiran se mila
har ek haal mein jine ka jagmagane ka shauq
andheri shab mein sitaron ki anjuman se mila
ishaara fikr ko mahmez hashr-parwar ka
KHata muaf ho tere hi bankpan se mila
ab is shuur ko mahsur-e-zat kaise karun
shuur zat ki 'zaidi' baDe jatan se mila
Ghazal
KHala-e-fikr ka ehsas arz-e-fan se mila
