KHun mein tar sabr ki chadar kahan le jaoge
zindagani ko barahna-sar kahan le jaoge
aa gae ahkaam-e-nawwab bolna mamnua hai
tum suKHnawar lab-e-gustar kahan le jaoge
TuT jaenge zawabit chiKH uTThega zamir
dur nazron se har ek manzar kahan le jaoge
tark-e-aula ki saza ye pattharon ka shahr hai
ab bhala ye kanch ka paikar kahan le jaoge
shauq ke pur-pech raste aur anasir sang-e-mil
gar uTha bhi lo to ye patthar kahan le jaoge
aagahi ka rizq kab malta hai aur kis samt se
kasa-e-zauq-e-nazar dar dar kahan le jaoge
hijr ki shab ka hai ye pichhla pahar uTho 'shahab'
ro chuke shab bhar ye chashm-tar kahan le jaoge
Ghazal
KHun mein tar sabr ki chadar kahan le jaoge
Iffat abbas
