KHilaf sari lakiren thin hath malte kya
jami thi chehre pe gard aaina badalte kya
hawaen rah mein Dera jamae baiThi thin
charagh-e-dil ko liye do-qadam bhi chalte kya
yugon se jism ke andar alaw raushan hai
kisi ki aanch se mere hawas jalte kya
chali wo aandhi ki jangal bhi kanp kanp uTha
ki hum to shaKH se TuTe the phir sambhalte kya
paDi kiran to nadi ban gai pahaD ki barf
wo Thahre sang zara der mein pighalte kya
nadi ke donon kinare hain aas-pas magar
janam ke fasle the qurbaton mein Dhalte kya
Ghazal
KHilaf sari lakiren thin hath malte kya
