kuchh haqiqat to hua karti thi insanon mein
wo bhi baqi nahin is daur ke insanon mein
waqt ka sail baha le gaya sab kuchh warna
pyar ke Dher lage the mere gul-danon mein
shaKH se kaTne ka gham un ko bahut tha lekin
phul majbur the hanste rahe gul-danon mein
un ki pahchan ki qimat to ada karni thi
jaanta hai koi apnon mein na beganon mein
sar hi hum phoDne jaen to kahan jaenge
khokhle kanch ke but hain tere but-KHanon mein
Ghazal
Kuchh haqiqat to hua karti thi insanon mein
Saeed Ahmad Akhtar
