mahfil-ara the magar phir kam-numa hote gae
dekhte hi dekhte hum kya se kya hote gae
na-shanasi dahr ki tanha hamein karti gai
hote hote hum zamane se juda hote gae
muntazir jaise the dar shahar-e-firaq-asar ke
ek zara dastak hui dar dam mein wa hote gae
harf parda-posh the izhaar-e-dil ke bab mein
harf jitne shahr mein the harf-e-la hote gae
waqt kis tezi se guzra roz-marra mein 'munir'
aaj kal hota gaya aur din hawa hote gae
Ghazal
Mahfil-ara the magar phir kam-numa hote gae
Muneer Niyazi
