nafas nafas ko hawa ki rikab mein rakhna
wajud apna kaf-e-aftab mein rakhna
gharib-e-shahr tujhe tishnagi na le Dube
sambhal ke apna qadam dasht-e-ab mein rakhna
ye wo gulab hain jo dhup sah nahin sakte
unhen hamesha shab-e-mahtab mein rakhna
ki jin ka chashm-e-nazara tawaf karne lage
kuchh aise naqsh bhi diwar-e-KHwab mein rakhna
wo KHwah phul ho mahtab ho ki saghar ho
koi bhi shai ho na us ke jawab mein rakhna
hasin lafzon ki surat hain KHadd-o-KHal us ke
'mubarak' un ko bhi apni kitab mein rakhna
Ghazal
Nafas nafas ko hawa ki rikab mein rakhna
Mubarak Ansari
