saghar kyun KHali hai mera ai saqi tere maiKHane mein
phir Dal de ulfat ki nazren ek bar mere paimane mein
wo ishq nahin hai bul-hawasi jo wasl ki chahat karta hai
baqi hai farasat ab tak bhi itni to tere diwane mein
duniya ki inayat hai utni har gam bichhati hai kanTe
hum rang-e-hina kaise bharte is ulfat ke afsane mein
kyun KHak mein meri wasf nahin jis se mah-o-anjum sharmaen
har aan ulajhta jata hun is gutthi ko suljhane mein
phir raaz-e-KHudi eazaz-KHudi parwaz-e-KHudi us se puchhen
'iqbaal' sa koi farzana mil jae agar anjaane mein
Ghazal
Saghar kyun Khaali hai mera ai saqi tere maiKHane mein
