KHwab aise ki gai raat Darane lag jaen
dard jage to sulane mein zamane lag jaen
hum wo nadan hawaon se wafa ki KHatir
apne aangan ke charaghon ko bujhane lag jaen
thoDe gehun abhi miTTi pe rakhe rahne do
wo parinde ki kabhi lauT ke aane lag jaen
aas mahke jo kisi khoe jazire ki kabhi
teri banhen mujhe sahil pe bulane lag jaen
koi dushman na ho in ko to ye iza-parwar
apne KHemon pe hi tiron ko chalane lag jaen
Ghazal
KHwab aise ki gai raat Darane lag jaen
