na thin to dur kahin dhyan mein paDi hui thin
tamam aayaten imkan mein paDi hui thin
kiwaD khulne se pahle hi din nikal aaya
bashaaraten abhi saman mein paDi hui thin
wahin shikasta qadamchon pe aag raushan thi
wahin riwayaten anjaan mein paDi hui thin
hum apne aap se bhi ham-suKHan na hote the
ki sari mushkilen aasan mein paDi hui thin
pas-e-charagh main jo samten DhunDta raha 'turk'
wo ek lafz ke dauran mein paDi hui thin
Ghazal
Na thin to dur kahin dhyan mein paDi hui thin
Zia-ul-Mustafa Turk
