roz dohraenge jab sham-o-sahar ki tariKH
kaise badlegi bhala aap ke ghar ki tariKH
un fazaon mein koi baDh ke dikhae to kamal
KHud-ba-KHud hogi raqam bazu-e-par ki tariKH
apne bachchon ko na den pae kabhi koi KHushi
sirf hum likhte rahe apne hunar ki tariKH
luTne wale kabhi luT na paenge mujhe
main bata dunga agar raKHt-e-safar ki tariKH
apni tariKH pe is darja bharosa hain hamein
hum na dekhenge idhar aur udhar ki tariKH
lakh be-yar-o-madadgar phire sahil par
qaid rahti hai sadaf mein hi guhar ki tariKH
'mir'-o-'ghaalib' jinhen kahta hai zamana 'shahid'
un ke har sher mein hai fikr-o-nazar ki tariKH
Ghazal
Roz dohraenge jab sham-o-sahar ki tariKH
