samjhane walon ne kitna un ko samjhaya logo
phir bhi dhoka dil walon ne hir-phir kar khaya logo
nagri nagri phira musafir dukhi rahi kaya logo
virane mein chain se soya pa ke ghana saya logo
raja parja gyani murakh jag se KHali hath gae
kis ko KHabar kis ne kya khoya kis ne kya paya logo
fasle ki aur waqt duri dil ka qurb miTa na saka
kaisa kaisa pyara chehra dhyan mein dhundlaya logo
kahan talak hai us ka tana-bana ye malum nahin
sans ki is uljhi Dori ko kis ne suljhaya logo
in aankhon ne jo kuchh dekha kaun use sach manega
waqt ki dhup mein chand sa chehra kaise suno laya logo
duniya-dari ka har pahlu barat ke dekha 'ishqi' ne
ganTh girah ki kho kar us ne sab kuchh bhar paya logo
Ghazal
Samjhane walon ne kitna un ko samjhaya logo
