nigah-o-ruKH par hai likhi jati jo baat lab par ruki hui hai
mahak chhupe bhi to kaise dil mein kali jo gham ki khili hui hai
jo dil se lipTa hai sanp ban kar Dara raha hai bacha raha hai
ye sari raunaq us ek tasawwur ke dam se hi to lagi hui hai
KHayal apna kamal apna uruj apna zawal apna
ye kin bhulayyon mein Dal rakha hai kaisi lila rachi hui hai
hum apni kashti sarab-gahon mein Dal kar muntazir khaDe hain
na par lagte na Dubte hain har ek rawani thami hui hai
azal abad to faqat hawale hain waqt ki be-maqam gardish
KHabar nahin hai thame kahan par kahan se jaane chali hui hai
bhaDak ke jalna nahin gawara to mere parwardigar maula
na aisi aatish nafas mein bharte ki jis se jaan par bani hui hai
Ghazal
Nigah-o-ruKH par hai likhi jati jo baat lab par ruki hui hai
