mohabbat kya salib-e-zindagi hai
dil-e-ruswa ka hasil KHud-kushi hai
KHud apni KHwahishon ke aastan par
pareshan-haal kitna aadmi hai
shab-e-dair-o-haram se mai-kade tak
mere hi aansuon ki raushni hai
pilai umr-bhar saqi ne lekin
meri qismat mein ab tak tishnagi hai
hum apne aap ke qatil bane hain
ye kis tahzib ki jadugari hai
suno aawaz tum mere lahu ki
yahi to raaz husn-e-shairi hai
KHafa hai in dinon 'rahi' se manzil
agarche KHub teri rahbari hai
Ghazal
Mohabbat kya salib-e-zindagi hai
Sohan Rahi
