kurra-e-arz ko tarik bana dena tha
hijr ki shab mein sitaron ko bujha dena tha
kitni dahshat hai mere shahr mein sannaTe ki
naKHl-e-awaz yahan bhi to laga dena tha
tu ki maujud agar misl-e-hawa sehn mein tha
shajar-e-jamid-o-sakit ko hila dena tha
pur-sukun kab se mere dil ka hai sahra-e-sukut
aa ke is mein bhi kabhi hashr uTha dena tha
husn ke manzar-e-saffak nazar aate saf
parda-e-KHwab ko aankhon se haTa dena tha
rang kuchh subh-e-qayamat ka alag hi hota
chehra-e-mehr se bhi rang uDa dena tha
Ghazal
Kurra-e-arz ko tarik bana dena tha
