kya ishq tha jo bais-e-ruswai ban gaya
yaro tamam shahr tamashai ban gaya
bin mange mil gae meri aankhon ko ratjage
main jab se ek chand ka shaidai ban gaya
dekha jo us ka dast-e-hinai qarib se
ehsas gunjti hui shahnai ban gaya
barham hua tha meri kisi baat par koi
wo hadisa hi wajh-e-shanasai ban gaya
paya na jab kisi mein bhi aawargi ka shauq
sahra simaT ke gosha-e-tanhai ban gaya
tha be-qarar wo mere aane se pesh-tar
dekha mujhe to paikar-e-danai ban gaya
karta raha jo roz mujhe us se bad-guman
wo shaKHs bhi ab us ka tamannai ban gaya
wo teri bhi to pahli mohabbat na thi 'qatil'
phir kya hua agar koi harjai ban gaya
Ghazal
Kya ishq tha jo bais-e-ruswai ban gaya
