shoala-e-gul gulab shoala kya
aag aur phul ka ye rishta kya
tum meri zindagi ho ye sach hai
zindagi ka magar bharosa kya
kitni sadiyon ki qismaton ka main
koi samjhe bisat-e-lamha kya
jo na aadab-e-dushmani jaane
dosti ka use saliqa kya
kaam ki puchhte ho gar sahab
aashiqi ke alawa pesha kya
baat matlab ki sab samajhte hain
sahab-e-nashsha gharq-e-baada kya
dil-dukhon ko sabhi satate hain
sher kya git kya fasana kya
sab hain kirdar ek kahani ke
warna shaitan kya farishta kya
din haqiqat ka ek jalwa hai
raat bhi hai usi ka parda kya
tu ne mujh se koi sawal kiya
karwan-e-hayat-e-rafta kya
jaan kar hum 'bashir-badr' hue
is mein taqdir ka nawishta kya
Ghazal
Shoala-e-gul gulab shoala kya
