sitare hi sirf raston mein na kho rahe the
charagh aur chand bhi gale mil ke ro rahe the
nigah aise mein KHak pahchanti kisi ko
ghubar aisa tha aaine aks kho rahe the
kisi bayaban mein dhup rasta bhaTak gai thi
kisi bhulawe mein aa ke sab peD so rahe the
na ranj-e-hijrat tha aur na shauq-e-safar tha dil mein
sab apne apne gunah ka bojh Dho rahe the
'jamal' us waqt koi mujh se bichhaD raha tha
zamin aur aasman jab ek ho rahe the
Ghazal
Sitare hi sirf raston mein na kho rahe the
Jamal Ehsani
