sitam ki tegh ye kahti hai sar na uncha kar
pukarti hai bulandi ki zindagi hai idhar
chaman mein hum na rahenge tere palaTne tak
Thahar Thahar zara jati hui bahaar Thahar
koi fareb na khae safed-poshi se
na jaane kitne sitare nigal gai hai sahar
tu jauhri hai to zeba nahin tujhe ye gurez
mujhe parakh meri shohrat ka intizar na kar
'hafiz' kitne hi chehre udas hone lage
hamare fan ko sarahen bahut na ahl-e-nazar
Ghazal
Sitam ki tegh ye kahti hai sar na uncha kar
Hafeez Merathi
