sitam ki tegh pe ye dast-e-be-niyam rakha
gul-e-shikast sar-e-shaKH-e-intiqam rakha
main dil ko us ki taghaful-sara se le aaya
aur apne KHana-e-wahshat mein zer-e-dam rakha
nigar-KHana-e-taslim kya bayaban tha
jahan pe sail-e-KHarabi ko main ne tham rakha
mizha pe KHushk kiye ashk-e-na-murad us ne
phir aaine mein mera aks-e-lala-fam rakha
isi fasana-e-wahshat mein aaKHir-e-shab ko
main tegh-e-tez rakkhi us ne nim jam rakha
Ghazal
Sitam ki tegh pe ye dast-e-be-niyam rakkha
