mahfilon ko guzar pae hum
tab kahin KHalwaton pe chhae hum
hain udasi ke kokh-jae hum
zindagi ko na ras aae hum
khad pani bana diya KHud ko
silsile-war lahlahae hum
nasl taron ki zid laga baiThi
istiare utar lae hum
ruh ke honTh sil ke hi mane
harkaton se na baz aae hum
farz hum par hai raushni ka safar
nur ki chhuT ke hain jae hum
pyas ko pyar karna tha kewal
ek akhshar badal na pae hum
bas hamare hi sath rahti hai
kyun udasi ko itna bhae hum
Ghazal
Mahfilon ko guzar pae hum
