mila-dila sahi ek KHushk haar baqi hai
abhi bahaar-e-shikast-e-bahaar baqi hai
nazar sanwar chuki kitne aaina-KHane
usi tarah hawas-e-did-e-yar baqi hai
bichhauna kanTon ka hai phir bhi aai jati hai nind
abhi tasawwur-e-zanu-e-yar baqi hai
shikast-e-ahd ke kyun hon na silsile qaem
ek aasra pas-e-har-e'tibar baqi hai
qafas mein fursat-e-fikr-e-chaman-taraaz kahan
yahi bahut hai KHayal-e-bahaar baqi hai
wo aankhen bhi khulin badli jo waqt ne karwaT
idhar nahin ab idhar intizar baqi hai
ye ruh-o-tan ki judai ka marsiya kab tak
wahi do-rangi-e-lail-o-nahaar baqi hai
chaman to nim-nigahi ne kar diya taqsim
KHuda-e-waqt koi aur war baqi hai
'siraj' ab bhi ye aqlim-e-rang-o-bu hai bahut
luTi-luTai hui jo bahaar baqi hai
Ghazal
Mila-dila sahi ek KHushk haar baqi hai
Siraj Lakhnavi
