mal-o-zar ki qadr kya KHun-e-jigar ke samne
ahl-e-duniya hech hain ahl-e-hunar ke samne
der tak main ne nahin dekhi parindon ke uDan
der tak baiTha tha koi mere ghar ke samne
panw paD jati hain lahren pichhe paD jati hai sham
roz suraj Dub jata hai nazar ke samne
jhil par kaTi hain kitni chandni raaten magar
sher ki dewi nahin aai utar ke samne
ye julus-e-rang apne sath kya kuchh le gaya
qatl-e-gul hota raha diwar-o-dar ke samne
waqt-e-marham hai magar marham ka bhi ek waqt hai
ro paDa hun ek purane ham-safar ke samne
Ghazal
Mal-o-zar ki qadr kya KHun-e-jigar ke samne
