main apni zat mein jab se sitara hone laga
phir ek charagh se mera guzara hone laga
meri chamak ke nazare ko chahiye kuchh aur
main aaine pe kahan aashkara hone laga
ye kaisi barf se us ne bhigo diya hai mujhe
pahaD jaisa mera jism gara hone laga
zamin se main ne abhi eDiyan uThai thin
ki aasman ka mujh ko nazara hone laga
ajib sur-e-sarafil us ne phunk diya
pahaD apni jagah para para hone laga
main ek ishq mein nakaam kya hua 'gauhar'
har ek kaam mein mujh ko KHasara hone laga
Ghazal
Main apni zat mein jab se sitara hone laga
