pahle to shahr bhar mein misal aaine hue
phir gard se sarapa sawal aaine hue
chehra chhupae phirta hai gahre naqab mein
ek shaKHs ko to lau ki misal aaine hue
hum ko saza mili ki ujale the aaine
so apni jaan pe sara wabaal aaine hue
phir yun hua ki zabt ki surat nahin rahi
aur shahr-e-be-nawa ke ghazal aaine hue
jin ke sabab se hum hue matub shahr mein
ek waqt aa gaya wo KHayal aaine hue
wo dard ji uTha ki gareban the tar tar
wo rut umaD paDi ki nihaal aaine hue
Ghazal
Pahle to shahr bhar mein misal aaine hue
