phul khila de shaKHon par peDon ko phal de malik
dharti jitni pyasi hai utna to jal de malik
kohra kohra sardi hai kanp raha hai pura ganw
din ko tapta suraj de raat ko kambal de malik
bailon ko ek gaThri ghas insanon ko do roTi
kheton ko bhar gehun se kandhon ko hal de malik
waqt baDa dukh-daik hai papi hai sansar bahut
nirdhan ko dhanwan bana durbal ko bal de malik
hath sabhi ke kale hain nazren sab ki pili hain
sina Dhanp dupaTTe se sar ko aanchal de malik
kal ko aaj se bandhe rakh aaj ko kal se joDe rakh
jab tak khel-tamasha hai pir ko mangal de malik
Ghazal
Phul khila de shaKHon par peDon ko phal de malik
Shakeel Azmi
