samundar is qadar shorida-sar kyun lag raha hai
kinare par bhi hum ko itna Dar kyun lag raha hai
wo jis ki jurat-e-parwaz ke charche bahut the
wahi tair hamein be-baal-o-par kyun lag raha hai
wo jis ke nam se raushan the mustaqbil ke sab KHwab
wahi chehra hamein na-mo'tabar kyun lag raha hai
bahaaren jis ki shaKHon se gawahi mangti thin
wahi mausam hamein ab be-samar kyun lag raha hai
dar-o-diwar itne ajnabi kyun lag rahe hain
KHud apne ghar mein aaKHir itna Dar kyun lag raha hai
Ghazal
Samundar is qadar shorida-sar kyun lag raha hai
