kinara-dar-kinara mustaqil manjdhaar hai yun bhi
mere pani mein jo kuchh hai wo yun pur-asrar hai yun bhi
baha jata hun aksar dur lamhon ke hisaron se
mere Thahrao ke aaghosh mein raftar hai yun bhi
kahan KHaliyon ke viranon mein us ko DhunDne jaen
zamanon ka sira mere sire se par hai yun bhi
yahan se yun bhi ek tajrid ki sarhad ubharti hai
aur apne darmiyan anfas ki diwar hai yun bhi
hamare gumbadon ki gunj ka chehra nahin to kya
jo tujh se kah nahin sakte pas-e-izhaar hai yun bhi
raha kya farq andar aur bahar mein 'riyaz' aaKHir
jo mujh mein kho chuka hai mujh se wo sab par hai yun bhi
Ghazal
Kinara-dar-kinara mustaqil manjdhaar hai yun bhi
