ruKHsat-e-nutq zabanon ko riya kya degi
dars haq-goi ka ye bint-e-KHata kya degi
sajda karti hai laimon ke daron par duniya
be-niyazon ko ye be-sharm bhala kya degi
yahi hoga ki na aaegi kabhi ghar mere
mujh ko duniya-e-duni aur saza kya degi
sal-ha-sal ke tufan mein bhi dil bujh na saka
zak use sarkashi-e-mauj-e-hawa kya degi
koi mausam ho mahakte hain yahan zaKHm ke phul
mere daman ko tahi-dast saba kya degi
dil to kuchh kahta hai par sharm se uThte nahin hath
dekhna hai ki ye be-dast dua kya degi
KHwahish-e-marg hai kuchh pane ki mauhum ummid
zindagi de na saki kuchh to qaza kya degi
KHwab dekhe hain to bedar raho umr tamam
chashm-e-KHwabida ko tabir-e-sila kya degi
isi zindan mein ab kaT do umr apni 'wahid'
main na kahta tha tumhein qaid-e-wafa kya degi
Ghazal
RuKHsat-e-nutq zabanon ko riya kya degi
Waheed Akhtar
