so gaya oDh ke phir shab ki qabaen suraj
jin ke daman pe chhiDakta tha ziyaen suraj
aaj tak rakh sameTi nahin jati apni
hum ne chaha tha hatheli pe sajaen suraj
aankh bujh jae to ek jaise hain sare manzar
apni binai ke dam se hain ghaTaen suraj
meri palkon pe larazte hue aansu moti
mere bujhte hue honTon pe duaen suraj
zindagi jin ki ho sahra ki masafat 'shahbaz'
aise logon ko kabhi ras na aaen suraj
Ghazal
So gaya oDh ke phir shab ki qabaen suraj
Shahbaz Khwaja
