sarab-e-shab bhi hai KHwab-e-shikasta-pa bhi hai
ki nind mangte rahne ki kuchh saza bhi hai
tamam umr chunungi main reza reza tujhe
pas-e-ghubar-e-nigah ek aaina bhi hai
supurd-e-raqs kiya main ne har tamanna ko
lahu ke shor ki ab koi intiha bhi hai
main kyun na ek hi qatre se sair ho jaun
kisi ki pyas ko dariya kabhi mila bhi hai
miyan-e-rah kaDi dhup mein na chhoD mujhe
bata to de ki kahin ghar ka rasta bhi hai
main is charagh ko dushman ki saf mein kyun rakhkhun
ye mere nam pe kuchh der ko jala bhi hai
hazar lazzat-e-KHamosh ke nashe mein ho dil
suKHan ke nam pe kuchh harf mangta bhi hai
mere KHilaf gawahon ki kuchh kami bhi nahin
magar har ek mere haq mein bolta bhi hai
simaT ke rah gae diwar-e-shahr-e-KHauf mein log
kise KHabar ho ki zinda koi bacha bhi hai
hujum-e-tishna-laban ka suragh de mujh ko
wirasaton mein meri dasht-e-karbala bhi hai
Ghazal
Sarab-e-shab bhi hai KHwab-e-shikasta-pa bhi hai
