pani ka ajab taur tha pani se nikal kar
sailab ki surat tha rawani se nikal kar
sunne ko jo baiThe hain unhen kaise bataun
kirdar koi gum hai kahani se nikal kar
kahni hai koi baat to kah sidhi zaban mein
alfaz ke pur-pech maani se nikal kar
zindani-e-ulfat hai kahan aaj zamana
ye dekh kisi yaad purani se nikal kar
takta raha tezi se badalte hue manzar
phirta raha main yaad suhani se nikal kar
bhar rakkha tha KHush-bu ne mere sehn ko 'shahin'
kone mein khili raat ki rani se nikal kar
Ghazal
Pani ka ajab taur tha pani se nikal kar
