shanaKHt miT gai chehre pe gard itni thi
hamari zindagi sahra-naward itni thi
tamam-umr use sinchte rahe lekin
gulab de na saki shaKH zard itni thi
gire na ashk kabhi hadson ke daman par
hamari aankh shanasa-e-dard itni thi
teri pukar ka chehra dikhai de na saka
mere qarib sadaon ki gard itni thi
talash-e-zist mein dil jaisi chiz chhuT gai
hikayat-e-dil-o-jaan fard fard itni thi
jhulasti dhup ka us par guman guzarta tha
bichhi thi rah mein jo chhanw zard itni thi
pighal saki na kabhi barf akele-pan ki 'KHumar'
wo shoala-ru bhi tabiat ki sard itni thi
Ghazal
ShanaKHt miT gai chehre pe gard itni thi
Suleman Khumar
