sab mutmain the subh ka aKHbar dekh kar
KHaif the hum nawishta-e-diwar dekh kar
munsif gawah had hai ki mazlum bik gae
qimat lagi jo zarf-e-KHaridar dekh kar
main boriya-nashin gharib-ul-watan faqir
hairan tha shan-o-shaukat-e-darbar dekh kar
na-waqif-e-rusum-e-huzuri tha ki gaya
sab dam-ba-KHud the jurat-e-izhaar dekh kar
aisa nahin ki sab the haqaeq se na-balad
bas bolte the chashm-e-sharar-bar dekh kar
tark-e-tawahhumat ne be-faiz kar diya
bhaTke the hum bhi jubba-o-dastar dekh kar
koshish main karta rahta hun ghazlon mein apni 'taj'
baaten banaun chashm-o-ruKH-e-yar dekh kar
Ghazal
Sab mutmain the subh ka aKHbar dekh kar
