na ehtijaj na aawargi mein dekh mujhe
jo ho sake to meri raushni mein dekh mujhe
gul-e-hawas bhi hai shaKH-e-visal ka hissa
charagh-e-lala ki taza kali mein dekh mujhe
wazahaton se tu kuchh bhi samajh na paega
kabhi ghubar kabhi tirgi mein dekh mujhe
faza-e-yaad mein tabdiliyan nahin hotin
jadid shaKHs purani gali mein dekh mujhe
sitara tab zamane ki yaadgar hun main
kisi malal na sharmindagi mein dekh mujhe
main ek bund sar-e-nok-e-KHar-e-sahra hun
tulu-e-subh-e-dam-e-aKHiri mein dekh mujhe
mere bayan ke jah-o-jalal par mat ja
mere KHayal ki pas-mandagi mein dekh mujhe
Ghazal
Na ehtijaj na aawargi mein dekh mujhe
