meri nigah mein lamhon ka KHwab utra tha
zamin ki sath pe ya mahtab utra tha
wo KHas lamha jise umr-e-jawedan kahiye
wo ban ke wasl ka jam-e-sharab utra tha
ye kaisi chuk hui be-KHudi mein hum se ki bas
tamam umr musalsal azab utra tha
muqabla kiya jis peD ne hawaon ka
usi pe barq-e-tapan ka itab utra tha
nadi jo pyas bujhati thi sab ki sadiyon se
KHud us ki pyas bujhane sarab utra tha
sahifa-e-gham-e-hasti ka jab hua tha nuzul
to mujh pe soz-e-mohabbat ka bab utra tha
'karamat' us ko to jaana tha aasman se pare
wo qafila jo sar-e-aftab utra tha
Ghazal
Meri nigah mein lamhon ka KHwab utra tha
