KHauf ke sail-e-musalsal se nikale mujhe koi
main payambar to nahin hun ki bacha le mujhe koi
apni duniya ke mah-o-mehr sameTe sar-e-sham
kar gaya jada-e-farda ke hawale mujhe koi
itni der aur tawaqquf ki ye aankhen bujh jaen
kisi be-nur KHarabe mein ujale mujhe koi
kis ko fursat hai ki tamir kare az-sar-e-nau
KHana-e-KHwab ke malbe se nikale mujhe koi
ab kahin ja ke sameTi hai umidon ki bisat
warna ek umr ki zid thi ki sambhaale mujhe koi
kya ajab KHema-e-jaan teri tanaben kaT jaen
is se pahle ki hawaon mein uchhaale mujhe koi
kaisi KHwahish thi ki socho to hansi aati hai
jaise main chahun usi tarah bana le mujhe koi
teri marzi meri taqdir ki tanha rah jaun
magar ek aas to de palne wale mujhe koi
Ghazal
KHauf ke sail-e-musalsal se nikale mujhe koi
