meri nazar se jo nazren bachae baiThe hain
KHabar bhi hai unhen kya gul khilae baiThe hain
hazar bar jale jis se baal-o-par apne
usi charagh se hum lau lagae baiThe hain
jo shaKH shoKHi-e-barq-e-tapan se hai manus
usi pe aaj nasheman banae baiThe hain
phir us ke wada-e-farda ka ho yaqin kaise
hazar bar jise aazmae baiThe hain
shab-e-firaq ki hum tirgi se ghabra kar
charagh-e-zaKHm-e-gham-e-dil jalae baiThe hain
use hijab kahun ya kahun pashemani
mere mazar pe wo sar jhukae baiThe hain
hum ek qatra-e-qalb-e-hazin mein ai 'iqbaal'
gham-e-hayat ke tufan chhupae baiThe hain
Ghazal
Meri nazar se jo nazren bachae baiThe hain
