mere log KHema-e-sabr mein mere shahr gard-e-malal mein
abhi kitna waqt hai ai KHuda in udasiyon ke zawal mein
kabhi mauj-e-KHwab mein kho gaya kabhi thak ke ret pe so gaya
yunhi umr sari guzar di faqat aarzu-e-visal mein
kahin gardishon ke bhanwar mein hun kisi chaak par main chaDha hua
kahin meri KHak jami hui kisi dasht-e-barf-misal mein
ye hawa-e-gham ye faza-e-nam mujhe KHauf hai ki na Dal de
koi parda meri nigah par koi raKHna tere jamal mein
Ghazal
Mere log KHema-e-sabr mein mere shahr gard-e-malal mein
