mulk-e-suKHan mein dard ki daulat ko kya hua
ai shahr-e-'mir' teri riwayat ko kya hua
hum to sada ke banda-e-zar the hamara kya
nam-awaran-e-ahd-e-baghawat ko kya hua
gard-o-ghubar-e-kucha-e-shohrat mein aa ke dekh
aasudagan-e-kunj-e-qanaat ko kya hua
ghar se nikal ke bhi wahi taza hawa ka KHauf
misaq-e-hijr teri bashaarat ko kya hua
Ghazal
Mulk-e-suKHan mein dard ki daulat ko kya hua
