koi bhuli hui shai taq-e-har-manzar pe rakkhi thi
sitare chhat pe rakkhe the shikan bistar pe rakkhi thi
laraz jata tha bahar jhankne se us ka tan sara
siyahi jaane kin raaton ki us ke dar pe rakkhi thi
wo apne shahr ke miTte hue kirdar par chup tha
ajab ek lapata zat us ke apne sar pe rakkhi thi
kahan ki sair-e-haft-aflak upar dekh lete the
hasin ujli kapasi barf baal-o-par pe rakkhi thi
koi kya jaanta kya chiz kis par bojh hai 'bani'
zara si os yun to sina-e-patthar pe rakkhi thi
Ghazal
Koi bhuli hui shai taq-e-har-manzar pe rakkhi thi
