rang par jab wo bazm-e-naz aai
hum uThe le ke dard-e-tanhai
kis se puchhen tilism-e-hasti mein
hum tamasha hain ya tamashai
tha gham-e-ishq jaan-gudaz magar
kuchh usi gham ne ki masihai
hae kis sadgi se sikha hai
husn ne ehtimam-e-ranai
aaKHir-e-shab zaban-e-shama pe hai
dastan-e-hujum-e-tanhai
chand KHunin-jigar hue ruswa
muskuraya chaman bahaar aai
chup rahe hum to KHun hua dil ka
baat ki hai to aankh bhar aai
hae is daur-e-aql-o-danish ne
kar diya aadmi ko saudai
hum chaman mein na the to KHud hi 'rawish'
bu-e-gul dasht tak chali aai
Ghazal
Rang par jab wo bazm-e-naz aai
