ret par mujh ko guman pani ka tha
sabr mera imtihan pani ka tha
sab junun-o-azm kaghaz kashtiyan
samna jab be-karan pani ka tha
sang-e-sahra mein thi dariya ki numud
sang-e-sahra mein ziyan pani ka tha
yun mili sailab mein ja-e-panah
sar pe mere saeban pani ka tha
aag bhi barsi daraKHton par wahin
kal basti mein jahan pani ka tha
ek sunahri faKHta thi par-kusha
jab ye be-samt aasman pani ka tha
Ghazal
Ret par mujhko guman pani ka tha
