kohsar to kahin pe samundar bhi aaenge
apni talash mein nae manzar bhi aaenge
pamal raston se baghawat nahin gunah
qadren nai hain to nae rahbar bhi aaenge
surat mein rang-o-nur ki, phulon ki, hum kahin
lauh-e-jahan pe harf-e-mukarrar bhi aaenge
nazuk-mizaj dete hain har lamha imtihan
shishon se jism ke liye patthar bhi aaenge
jab jab baDhegi zulmat-e-ghaarat-gar-e-yaqin
aawaz-e-haq pe kaTne nae sar bhi aaenge
badle hain husn-o-ishq to aqdar bhi nai
le kar nae jawaz sitamgar bhi aaenge
mahrumiyan kahin to kahin par nawazishen
kya ye sawal bar-sar-e-mahshar bhi aaenge
aae ho shahar-e-zar ki chaka-chaund mein magar
mahlon ke sath rah mein be-ghar bhi aaenge
mayus ho ke johd-e-musalsal na chhoDna
zaKHmon ke baad hathon mein gauhar bhi aaenge
hain pattharon se log hi is shahr-e-sang mein
kya un ke waste nae manzar bhi aaenge
dewi ko munsifi ki milega qarar tab
jab apna sar jhukae sitamgar bhi aaenge
'KHalid' tera wajud gawara nahin jinhen
bazm-e-suKHan mein kya wo suKHnawar bhi aaenge
Ghazal
Kohsar to kahin pe samundar bhi aaenge
