musawwiri mein nafas phunkne ka fan bhi to ho
ki pairahan ho agar saz-e-pairahan bhi to ho
to sirf aks nahin ek sahifa-e-fan hai
is aaine mein kabhi garmi-e-badan bhi to ho
wo shayad is liye taswir ban ke baiTha raha
faqat suKHan hi nahin hasrat-e-suKHan bhi to ho
main aabi rang mein thoDi si aab chahta hun
agar nigah paDe aankh mein chubhan bhi to ho
ye soch kar use gul-dan mein saja na sake
wo phul hai to use sohbat-e-chaman bhi to ho
Ghazal
Musawwiri mein nafas phunkne ka fan bhi to ho
Shah Nawaz Zaidi
