kisi but ke shikam se gar koi aazar nikal aae
KHirad ka band TuTe aur ek patthar nikal aae
taqaze jab badan ke ruh mein Dhal kar nikal aae
qaba ke band TuTe aur hasin bistar nikal aae
zamana na-shanasi ka murawwat be-KHayali ki
na jaane kis gali kis moD par KHanjar nikal aae
uge hain KHwab-zaron mein manazir sar-tarashi ke
suhani wadiyon mein bawle lashkar nikal aae
thakan ka bojh le kar koi kitni dur chalta hai
magar jab rah mein ek mil ka patthar nikal aae
chhupa kar jin charaghon ko nihan-KHane mein rakkha tha
fasil-e-jaan pe jalne ke liye kyun kar nikal aae
Ghazal
Kisi but ke shikam se gar koi aazar nikal aae
