karte hi nahin tark-e-butan taur-e-jafa ka
shayad hamin dikhlawenge didar KHuda ka
hai abr ki chadar shafaqi josh se gul ke
maiKHane ke han dekhiye ye rang hawa ka
bahuteri giro jins-kulalon ke paDi hai
kya zikr hai waiz ke musalla-o-rida ka
mar jaega baaton mein koi gham-zada yun hi
har lahza na ho mumtahin arbab-e-wafa ka
tadbir thi taskin ke liye logon ki warna
malum tha muddat se hamein nafa dawa ka
hath aaina-ruyon se uTha baiThen na kyunkar
bil-aks asar pate the hum apni dua ka
aankh us ki nahin aaine ke samne hoti
hairat-zada hun yar ki main sharm-o-haya ka
barson se tu yun hai ki ghaTa jab umanD aai
tab dida-e-tar se bhi hua ek jhaDaka
aankh us se nahin uThne ki sahab nazron ki
jis KHak pe hoga asar us ki kaf-e-pa ka
talwar ke sae hi mein kaTe hai to ai 'mir'
kis dil-zada ko hue hai ye zauq fana ka
Ghazal
Karte hi nahin tark-e-butan taur-e-jafa ka
