kis liye parwana KHakistar hua
shama kyun apni jalan mein ghul gai
muntashir kyun ho gae auraq-e-gul
chiKHti gulshan se kyun bulbul gai
aabdida ho ke shabnam kyun chali
dam ke dam kanTon mein aa kar tul gai
sabza-e-tarf-e-KHayaban kya hua
aah kyun shadabi-e-sumbul gai
kuchh na tha KHwab-e-pareshan ke siwa
is theater ki haqiqat khul gai
rah ke ranj-o-tab ka kya gila
jab ki dil se gard-e-kulfat dhul gai
Ghazal
Kis liye parwana KHakistar hua
