qadam uThe hain to dhul aasman tak jae
chale chalo ki jahan tak bhi ye saDak jae
nazar uThao ki ab tirgi ke chehre par
ajab nahin ki koi raushni lapak jae
gudaz jism se phulon pe ungliyan rakh dun
ye shaKH aur zara sa agar lachak jae
kabhi kabhaar tere jism ka akela-pan
mere KHayal ki uryaniyat ko Dhak jae
tere KHayal ki tamsil yun samajh jaanan
dil o dimagh mein bijli si ek chamak jae
tere visal ki ummid yun bhi TuTi hai
ki aankh bhar bhi nahin pae aur chhalak jae
kabhi kabhaar bharose ka qatl yun bhi ho
ki jaise panw tale se zamin sarak jae
Ghazal
Qadam uThe hain to dhul aasman tak jae
Shakeel Azmi
