koi pahle to koi baad mein ayyar hua
apni KHwahish pe jo wabasta-e-darbar hua
ek tahi-jeb ki zari koi sunta kaise
raij aise hi nahin sikka-e-dinar hua
baat sultan se kya taKHliye mein us ki hui
maslahat-kesh batane pe na tayyar hua
muKHbiri meri hui chashm-e-zadan mein kaisi
qasr-e-dil hi mein sara tha ki mismar hua
rah mein aae hue shana-e-kohsar ke sath
abr Takra ke jo palTa to guhar-bar hawa
apni haq-goi ke ba-wasf nigun-sari par
dosh par apne mera sar hi mujhe bar hua
han ye mumkin hai magar itna zaruri bhi nahin
jo koi pyar mein haara wahi fankar hua
ek nazar us ne uchaTti hui ki thi 'yasir'
aur phir shahr mein rahna mujhe dushwar hua
Ghazal
Koi pahle to koi baad mein ayyar hua
