Kitna DhunDa use jab ek ghazal aur kahi

kitna DhunDa use jab ek ghazal aur kahi
jab mila hi nahin tab ek ghazal aur kahi

ek ummid mulaqat mein likkhi sar-e-sham
aur phir aaKHir-e-shab ek ghazal aur kahi

ek ghazal likkhi to gham koi purana jaga
phir usi gham ke sabab ek ghazal aur kahi

us ghazal mein kisi be-dard ka nam aata tha
so pae bazm-e-tarab ek ghazal aur kahi

jaante bujhte ek misra-e-tar ki qimat
dil-e-bedad-talab ek ghazal aur kahi

dil ki dhaDkan ko hi pairaya-e-izhaar kiya
sil chuke jab mere lab ek ghazal aur kahi

dafatan KHud se mulaqat ka ehsas hua
muddaton baad jo ab ek ghazal aur kahi

wahshat-e-hijr bhi tanhai bhi main bhi 'anjum'
jab ikaTThe hue sab ek ghazal aur kahi
