phir wahi mehrban hua aai
ai meri be-charagh tanhai
bain karne lagen na sannaTe
pasdaran-e-gosh-o-goyai
kis ne taufiq se siwa paya
dil ne gham aankh ne nami pai
ishq ka ajr hai dil-e-ruswa
parsai azab-e-danai
ye usi shahr ke manare hain
ai tahayyur-sarisht binai!
chaar jaanib wahi dhundalke hain
gumraho! phir wahi gali aai
na-sapason mein ba-waqar na ban
ai meri be-wiqar goyai
Ghazal
Phir wahi mehrban hua aai
