pau phaTi ek taza kahani mili
KHairiyat us ki din ki zabani mili
koi rahat na hum ko zamini mili
jo bhi saughat thi aasmani mili
qaid-e-diwar-o-dar se jo mahfuz hai
aise ghar ki hamein pasbani mili
koi patta na khaDka kahin raat-bhar
har taraf KHauf ki hukmarani mili
aur bhi log the shahr-e-bimar mein
ek hamin ko magar tarjumani mili
Ghazal
Pau phaTi ek taza kahani mili
