kitne din habs-e-musalsal mein basar hote hain
baDe ashaar baDe gham ka samar hote hain
hikmat-e-waqt bhi karti hai ata jin ko KHiraj
main isi soch mein hun kya wo hunar hote hain
mustaqil bojh na Thahrae sabhi ko ye zamin
izzat-e-KHak bhi kuchh KHak-basar hote hain
KHali shaKHon ka bhi hota hai bhala koi maqam
jo shajar chhanw bichha den wo shajar hote hain
ham-safar kaisi biTha jate hain gard aankhon mein
jab wo be-KHwab-e-safar KHwab-e-safar hone hain
sham kuchh achchha nazar aata hai basti ka saman
subh hoti hai to haalat digar hote hain
kya hui zabta-e-nzm ki baala-dasti
log ab qatl sar-e-rahguzar hote hain
raKHna-e-zar-talaban sarzanish-e-tira-shaban
aise qisse to yahan sham o sahar hote hain
Ghazal
Kitne din habs-e-musalsal mein basar hote hain
