Nutq palkon pe sharar ho to ghazal hoti hai

nutq palkon pe sharar ho to ghazal hoti hai
aastin aag se tar ho to ghazal hoti hai

hijr mein jhum ke wijdan pe aata hai nikhaar
raat suli pe basar ho to ghazal hoti hai

koi dariya mein agar kachche ghaDe par taire
sath sath is ke bhanwar ho to ghazal hoti hai

muddat-e-umr hai matlub riyazat ke liye
zindagi bar-e-digar ho to ghazal hoti hai

lazmi hai ki rahen zer-e-nazar ghaib o huzur
donon aalam ki KHabar ho to ghazal hoti hai

qab qausain ki arman-e-payambar ki qasam
husn chilman ke udhar ho to ghazal hoti hai

hath lagte hain falak hi se mazamin 'afzal'
dil mein jibril ka par ho to ghazal hoti hai
