paigham zindagi ne diya maut ka mujhe
marne ke intizar mein jina paDa mujhe
is inqalab ki bhi koi had hai dosto
na-ashna samajhte hain ab aashna mujhe
kashti pahunch sakegi ye ta sahil-e-murad
dhoka na de KHuda ke liye na KHuda mujhe
wo tul-e-umr jis mein na ho lutf-e-zindagi
mil jae misl-e-KHizr to kya faeda mujhe
dun tera sath umr-e-rawan kis tariq se
aankhen dikha rahe hain tere naqsh pa mujhe
taKHliq-e-kaenat ko socha kiya magar
kuchh ibtida mili na 'safi' intiha mujhe
Ghazal
Paigham zindagi ne diya maut ka mujhe
