mehrbani ko teri aariz-e-taban samjhe
ruTh jaane ko KHam-e-kakul-e-pechan samjhe
subh-e-KHandan ko maal-e-shab-e-hijran samjhe
shab ko tanwir ka ek aks-e-pareshan samjhe
zist aashuftagi-e-gor-e-ghariban samjhe
maut ko silsila-e-umr-e-gurezan samjhe
shoKH kirnon ko dil-e-sina-figaran samjhe
kahkashaon ko hasin shahr-e-nigaran samjhe
haram-o-dair na jalwa-gah-e-jaanan samjhe
kuchh na samjhe yahi ai gardish-e-dauran samjhe
kuchh samajh pae na ahbab ke samjhane se
waqt ne puchha ki samjhe to kahan han samjhe
saf dil sada mizaj aisi tabiat pai
hum to waiz ko bhi ek banda-e-yazdan samjhe
jis ko kahte hain nasim aaj wo hai baad-e-sumum
aur kabhi fasl-e-KHizan ko bhi bahaaran samjhe
phuT kar bahne lage aankh se nale shab-e-hijr
aur ham-sae use neamat-e-baran samjhe
rang laya hai gulistan ki tamannaon ka KHun
hum baDi der mein mafhum-e-bahaaran samjhe
Ghazal
Mehrbani ko teri aariz-e-taban samjhe
Khalilur Rahman Raz
