sitare ka raaz rakh liya mehman main ne
ek ujle KHwab aur aankh ke darmiyan main ne
chaDha hai jab chand aasman par to bojh utra
suna di har sone wale ko dastan main ne
tamam tesha-ba-dast hairat mein gum hue hain
charagh se kaT di hawa ki chaTan main ne
main dhup mein kyun kisi ka ehsanmand hota
KHud apne sae ko kar liya saeban main ne
'jamal' har shahr se hai pyara wo shahr mujh ko
jahan se dekha tha pahli bar aasman main ne
Ghazal
Sitare ka raaz rakh liya mehman maine
Jamal Ehsani
