KHud se ab mujh ko juda yun hi meri jaan rakhna
har ghaDi KHwab ko tum KHwab-e-pareshan rakhna
ab ibaadat ki yahi ek hai surat baqi
aankh ko band kiye honT sana-KHwan rakhna
KHwab ko zehn kahan hai na yahan hai na wahan
dil ke aangan mein kahin gor-e-ghariban rakhna
barahna rahne ki taufiq kahan se lae
KHud ko aaya hi nahin be-sar-o-saman rakhna
rah chalte hain to diwar uTha lete hain
kitna dushwar hai aasan ko bhi aasan rakhna
kya saliqa tha wo 'ghaalib' hon ki hon 'mir'-o-'firaq'
hijr mein wasl ka wo naqsh-e-gurezan rakhna
Ghazal
KHud se ab mujhko juda yun hi meri jaan rakhna
