pahle ek shaKHs meri zat bana
aur phir puri kaenat bana
husn ne KHud kaha musawwir se
panw par mere koi hath bana
pyas ki saltanat nahin miTti
lakh dajle bana furaat bana
gham ka suraj wo de gaya tujh ko
chahe ab din bana ki raat bana
sher ek mashghala tha 'qasir' ka
ab yahi maqsad-e-hayat bana
Ghazal
Pahle ek shaKHs meri zat bana
Ghulam Mohammad Qasir
