manzil na koi moD na rasta dikhai de
aalam tamam dhund mein lipTa dikhai de
qatil dikhai de na masiha dikhai de
har shaKHs ek fareb-e-tamasha dikhai de
waise to zindagi hai ujalon ka shahr bhi
dekho to maqbaron ka andhera dikhai de
jaun udhar to ek samundar hai be-karan
dekho idhar to pyas ka sahra dikhai de
rangin hai qatl-e-gul se abhi daman-e-bahaar
dast-e-hawas se KHun Tapakta dikhai de
tahtush-shuur mein hai jo ek lamha-e-KHyal
lafzon ki siDhiyon se utarta dikhai de
sunta hun saaton mein nigar-e-sahar ki chap
manzar naqab-e-sham ulaTta dikhai de
DhunDo kisi hasin KHarabe mein zindagi
ye dil to sadhuon ka basera dikhai de
arz-e-dakan mein baat chali hai kuchh is tarah
'saqib' dayar-e-sher mein tanha dikhai de
Ghazal
Manzil na koi moD na rasta dikhai de
Meer Naqi Ali Khan Saqib
