pa-ba-gil sab hain rihai ki kare tadbir kaun
dast-basta shahr mein khole meri zanjir kaun
mera sar hazir hai lekin mera munsif dekh le
kar raha hai meri fard-e-jurm ko tahrir kaun
aaj darwazon pe dastak jaani pahchani si hai
aaj mere nam lata hai meri tazir kaun
koi maqtal ko gaya tha muddaton pahle magar
hai dar-e-KHema pe ab tak surat-e-taswir kaun
meri chadar to chhini thi sham ki tanhai mein
be-ridai ko meri phir de gaya tashhir kaun
sach jahan pa-basta mulzim ke kaTahre mein mile
us adalat mein sunega adl ki tafsir kaun
nind jab KHwabon se pyari ho to aise ahd mein
KHwab dekhe kaun aur KHwabon ko de tabir kaun
ret abhi pichhle makanon ki na wapas aai thi
phir lab-e-sahil gharaunda kar gaya tamir kaun
sare rishte hijraton mein sath dete hain to phir
shahr se jate hue hota hai daman-gir kaun
dushmanon ke sath mere dost bhi aazad hain
dekhna hai khinchta hai mujh pe pahla tir kaun
Ghazal
Pa-ba-gil sab hain rihai ki kare tadbir kaun
